The "Bartlesville" Kilowatt Transmitter A 1937 Vintage Homebrew of unique style Some of the information I have on all this is still rather sketchy at this time..... About two years ago, plus or minus, a long time ham in Bartlesville, Oklahoma went silent. The call was W5GAE, Preston Gaddis. I'm told Preston was well to do most of his adult life and owned an automobile dealership since at least 1937 or so. It is not clear exactly when Preston became a ham, but we do know for sure he was a ham by 1937. I have his log books from that time to prove it. Sometime in 1937, he hired a local ham by the name of Fred Mason, and call of W5CCB, to build a kilowatt transmitter for him. Fred was an engineer in the field of electronics who was originally from California.
