Tom Kneitel, W4XAA, K2AES, SK (1933-2008)
As a teenager growing up in New York City, Tommy operated an AM pirate station known as WISP. During a DX test in 1949, he received reception reports as far away as Ohio. Later he became the first, and only, journalist to visit Swan Island and Radio Americas, and his article about the journey appeared in the July, 1968 issue of Electronics Illustrated. The article hit newsstands at almost exactly the same time Radio Americas left the air!
He published DX related articles in "Popular Electronics", "S9" and "Popular Communications", occasionally under the pen name "Alice Brannigan".
