Tribute to Donald A. Hoffman 8UX, 8ADU, W8FRY
1899 - 1956
We are looking for copies of his regional ham
magazine called "Youngstown Radio Amateur News" Then in
the 1940's the publication was renamed to "Ham Flashes"
The several page magazine was full of regional ham news on each
licensed ham here in the Valley and advertisements, wanteds - for
sale etc. It just might be one of the only pieces of historic
component about our radio hams of the 30s and 40s -- Flashes was
produced until 1956 by Don Hoffman W8FRY.
I have 7 issues of them starting out with number two in May 1932.
One issue is incomplete or torn and the last issued is No 77
dated June 1956, Om Claire Sutton w8cms - printed on the cover,
"This is the last issue of Ham Flashes by Don Huffman W8FRY,
ex 8UX es 8ADU, his name and call appears in July 1956 QST Silent
Keys."
Thanks w8su
