[BC] AM Daytimers

[paul gregg]

And I remember Jess well -- his was S/N 131 shipped 10/17/61 --

Another "great" Jess was Jess Swicegood -- WDIG Dothan, Al. -- He built one 
of the first ones
-- 12/05/60 -- liked it so much he became our top salesman. Most of the 
707's in Alabama,
Georgia and North Florida were sold by JS -- he had a retired army 
olonel  -- Havard
Rawlinson (ex-Signal Corps) who would travel with him to do the transmitter 
checkout
(a factory requirement before the nameplate was issued) and a new base 
impedance
measurement (required by the FCC).

Fun days!
