9MC 1923 Roodhouse, Illinois
Operator: Albert Henley Cain
QSL also has the call sign 9DNW on it and the QSL says that call
sign is used by Junior Operators.
9DNW was actually licensed to Wilfred W. Fraley, also of
Roodhouse.
QSL says Mr. Cain was a Ford Dealer. He also held a few patents
related to the automotive industry.
It seems he had quite the station and was heard worldwide. There
were several writes ups on Mr. Cain in magazines in the early
1920's.
