I worked Sam almost every Friday evening on the local 10-10 net.for years.
Related, Yes, I asked Sam a few years ago.and said his father and
Harold were cousins. Sam was in his 90's
but would not tell his exact age.
He was a great guy. Way back in the early 1930' ships would pass by
his island. He worked a number
of ship radio operators using light CW.... Had a car headlight
mounted outside and keyed it from his ham shack.
