   Slight error in my long post to you just now.   
      
   My Mentor Dr. George Huebner's ham radio call sign I typed was W5WQN was *NOT*   
   W5WQN at all!  That's my assigned call sign, originlly as WN5WQN when I got my   
   Novice class license first.  Dr. Huebner's call sign was W5GDK,   
      
   He was originally a EE graduate from A&M.  At the time I got to meet him as a   
   boy walking to kids' school here in College Station at A&M Consolidated School   
   here, he was the guy who cleaned up the Episcopal Church on the old Jersey   
   Street, now George Bush Drive here.  When I had built my crystal set to listen   
   to WTAW AM radio here, around eight or nine years old, as I walked to school a   
   mile each day in the back yard of his house next to the church I noticed a   
   copper wire antenna!  I knocked on the door one day to see who it belonged to.   
   His wife answered the door and told me it was George but he was not there and   
   would be back.  I asked if I could sit on the porch until he got there?  She   
   said, "Yes."  That's how I met him,  The rest is history.   
      
   However that was some sixty years ago,  I didn't even know until about ten   
   years ago that after he graduated from A&M, in WWII he was in Washington, DC!   
   He was the person who was heavily involved in the design of the complete short   
   wave reception system that monitored Hitler's short wave communications during   
   WWII there!  My Dad and none of us knew about this at all way back then!   
      
   Dr, Huebner died several years ago.  He was a treasure of a man in MANY ways   
   that had lots more to do with humanity as a whole and not just radio waves.
