1965 Historic Photo, Barker & Williamson, Bristol, PA

Taken in 1965 at Barker & Williamson, Bristol, PA.

I am assuming this is an Amateur Radio Station (Ham Radio). Any idea who the operator was? What was the callsign of the station?

Actually, Gene, it is/was the test bench at Barker and Williamson (B&W) where we tested the B&W 6100 transmitters. You may remember B&W as the famous Miniductor manufacturer. The guy in the photo is me -- 40 years ago this month! My call at the time was W3HGN, then later W1FBY followed by now W1XT. Thanks for the comment!

great shot, tones, memories....nice to see the cutting edge of the past

I love to see vintage photographs like this. I was just a toddler when this photo was taken and I really enjoy seeing how technology has progressed in my life time. Thanks for posting such an interesting and enjoyable image.
