I've listened to this guy a few times now on 40 meter lower sideband.Anyway,I changed the drop on my 40meter dipole today and put in new low loss RG8/U Belden 9913 cable.Naturally I wanted to try it out so I tuned to 7185 LSB and heard these two guys talking and the WA4UF call was none other than the grandson of Frank McIntosh whose name is Bruce.He was talking to a KB8 station in West VA about his Mc275 that was a family heirloom along with the S line Collins he uses.I looked up his call and sure enough,it was the grandson of old Frank McIntosh. Anyway,I just broke in to get a signal report and left it at that.I started to do a search on him and I found a website he has about the family.You can also see his Collins and his Mc275.He has several links but he's into old guitars and guitar tube amps and rebuilding them.
