History

Elmer K8ROH
Elmer lived in Twin Lakes near Muskegon and was very active with the Teenage Net. He was the net president, net control and pre-net control. He started calling the pre-net the PTN. The photo was taken in the Ham Radio Shack on the Silver Sides Submarine.

Dave W8NSH (Not So Hot)
Dave was president of the teenage net for many years because he did a super job and every year we would railroaded him back in. Dave started the Friday lunch before the Saturday Teenage Net picnic. Dave later changed his call sign to W8PZ.

John N8RRI (Rail Road Inspector)
John was our pre net control for a long long time, and very active with the rest of the Teenage Net.

Glen KA9YIU
Glen KA9YIU used to listen to the Teenage Net on a Hellicrafters short wave receiver in the late 50’s early 60’s, on 3.875 MHz AM. On my Net certificate #445 you can see they crossed out 3875Mc and wrote 3.945 MHz.
