W2MEL 1968 Wappingers Falls, New York

Operator: Al Bry
1916 - 2010

W2MEL was the founder of the WIHB, World Institute of Homebrewers.
He lead an interesting life and the fact he engineered his own equipment which few do.
I see he was a pal of  BOB W2LYH who was another outstanding radio engineer and builder (WIHB).

Here is his obituary from a Florida paper!
