FMH 1925 El Salvador
Fred Mejia, FMH, YS1FM was the
first ham in all Central America. He started around 1922 using a
broadcasting station. After ending the regular hours, he switched
coils and happily went on 40 meters. I met him when I was
beginning my ham life around 1960. He was still active on 20
meter AM fighting against the "Donald Duck invasion" as
he called the SSB. I convinced his son, who was a friend of mine,
to present him a SSB rig for his birthday. He got angry and
refused to use it.
