[WVARC] Hello world

[Ken Beals]

That's a classic pic of "League" Jones (WB6OLD/KR6X). I can't tell for
sure, but it looks like it was taken at W6HX since I can see a bit of the
integrated equipment rack in the background that housed Ted's original
equipment.  Ted found a desk to put in the middle of the room so we could
put other equipment in play.  I worked for Ted from 1969 to 1973 (after his
tower accident) so your time frame seems about right.
