GEORGE W. MORROW was
born July 22, 1908----At the age
of 12, while on a trip to Chicago
with his father, George spotted a
QST magazine at Union Station.
His father purchased it for him
and George was into radio---
When he was 13 he had already
been listening to amateurs 100
miles away using Morse code,
but he was startled one night
when he heard voices and
music, He had his mother listen
on his headphones, "Oh My
God " she cried, You’re right.
Please don’t tell anyone about
this, George they’ll put us both
in Massillon (State mental
hospital)." The townspeople had
already been talking and
accusing George of fibbing
about hearing people on Morse
code over 100 miles away.
