Richard E. 'Dick' Nebel Hempstead, NY QCWA # 03505 |
Dick, crippled by polio since childhood, was awarded a VWOA scholarship in 1942 to learn electronics by correspondence course. As a result, Dick started a cottage industry grinding radio crystals, which he ran successfully for nearly fifty years. Dick was also a perfect gentleman on-the-air, setting an example to hundreds of young hams on the newly-allocated 2-meter Novice band.
