The Radio Club of America's 98th Anniversary Annual Awards Banquet
I S   H I S T O R Y 

THE RADIO CLUB OF AMERICA, FOUNDED IN 1909, IS THE WORLD'S OLDEST RADIO COMMUNICATIONS SOCIETY.  ITS PURPOSE IS TO PROMOTE COOPERATION AMONG THOSE INTERESTED IN THE ADVANCEMENT AND SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF RADIO COMMUNICATIONS.  THE SEMIANUAL PERIODICAL, PROCEEDINGS, AND THE QUARTERLY NEWLETTER, AEROGRAM, KEEP MEMBERS CURRENT WITH THE CLUB'S ACTIVITIES, THE MOST IMPORTANT OF WHICH IS THE ANNUAL AWARDS BANQUET.
 
WE LEFT "22 CREW" HQ AROUND 1PM ON FRIDAY THE 18TH AND HEADED OVER TO EAST MEADOW TO PICK UP WALTER-WA4LT....ARRIVING AT AROUND 2PM WALTER WAS ALL SET TO GO AND OFF WE WENT IN THE "22 CREW" MOBILE FOR THE ISLAND OF MANHATTAN...NOW FESTIVITIES DON'T START AT RCA TILL 5PM SO WE MADE A STOP ON THE LOWER EAST SIDE AT POB 1052 AND GOT THE MAIL...FROM THE POB WE HEADED UPTOWN ARRIVING AT THE PARKING GARAGE ACROSS THE STREET FROM NYAC AROUND 4PM
 
 
TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE RATES....AS HIGH AS THEY MIGHT BE THEY ARE A LOT LESS EXPENSIVE THAN A MINIMUM $150 PARKING TICKET AND POSSIBLE AND PROBABLE TOW WHICH ADS ANOTHER FEW HUNDRED ON TO THE TICKET...
 
SINCE IT WAS NOW 4PM....WE HAD ARRIVED...WE GOT PARKED....WE WERE ONLY ACROSS THE STREET AND STILL HAD AN HOUR TO KILL IT WAS MY PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE WALTER TO ONE OF THE GREATEST AND OLDEST RUSSIAN RESTAURANTS IN NYC...PETROSSIAN
 
THIS PLACE OPENED IN 1920 ON THE CORNER OF 58TH AND 6TH AND AT LEAST THE OUTSIDE HAS NOT CHANGED IN THE LAST 87 YEARS...NOW SINCE THIS IS A RUSSIAN JOINT AND MAYBE THE WAITER DONT SPEAK THE GOOD ENGLISH WALTER WAS ALL PREPARED WITH PRE PRINTED CARDS TO PRESENT TO THE SERVER JUST SO THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS:
 
BETTER THAN A BOY SCOUT...WA4LT...CAME PREPARED!...AS WE WERE SITTING THERE ENJOYING THE CULTURE AND BEAUTY OF THE PLACE WALTER'S CELL PHONE WENT OFF:
 
 
AND WHO WAS ON THE OTHER END YOU ASK????  NONE OTHER THAN W2HLD IN TEXAS WHINING ABOUT HOW HE WISHED HE WAS THERE....WELL MIKEEEE YOU CUDDA BEEN AND YOU DO GET ANOTHER SHOT TO BE WITH US NEXT YEAR BUT WOW YOU MISSED A GREAT TIME THIS YEAR...THAT 4PM TO 5 HOUR WENT FASTER THAN 5 MINUTES ON A NY PARKING METER AND SADLY IT WAS TIME TO LEAVE PETROSSIAN AND WALK ACROSS THE STREET TO
 
NYAC-NEW YORK ATHLETIC CLUB...ABOVE IS THE ENTRANCE ON 58TH STREET JUST EAST OF 6TH AVENUE...WHEN YOU COME IN THAT ENTRANCE YOU HAVE TO GET PAST THE GUARDS
 
AND ASSUMING ALL GOES WELL YOU GET TO ENTER PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST FASCINATING, ELEGANT AND JUST PLAIN GREAT PRIVATE CLUBS ON MANHATTAN ISLAND.  ABOVE IS THE SAME ENTRANCE FROM THE INSIDE..THATS THE GUARDS IN THE FAR RITE CORNER...COAT CHECK ON THE LEFT AND BANK OF ELEVATORS WHERE WE ARE STANDING TO TAKE THE PICTURE....
ON THE ELEVATOR AND UP TO THE 10TH FLOOR WE WENT...THE DOORS OPENED ON 10 AND HERE IS THE SCENE WE SAW:
THIS IS THE RECEPTION AREA THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO START AT 5PM...AS YOU CAN SEE LOTS OF OTHER FOLKS THOUGHT LIKE US THAT IT WOULD BE A GOOD THING TO GET THEIR EARLY AND THEY DID....ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE FAMILIAR FACES AND MEET NEW ONES...IN THE OLD FAMILIAR COLUMN WE IMMEDIATELY SPOTTED FRANK-N2FF  THE ARRL HUDSON DIVISION LEADER:
 
BEING A LIFE MEMBER OF THE LEAGUE AND HAVING THE "22 CREW" AS AN AFFILIATED ARRL CLUB WE GET TO WORK WITH FRANK QUITE A BIT AND NEVER WANT TO MISS THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY THANKS FRANK FOR PROVIDING TRULY SPECTACULAR LEADERSHIP IN OUR DIVISION....NOT A GOOD IDEA TO GET BETWEEN A HAM AND HIS H'OR DEURVES OF WHICH THERE WERE PLENTY SO WE TURNED FRANK LOOSE ON THE CIRCULATING SERVERS AND FOLLOWED WALTER OUTSIDE TO THE SMOKING SECTION...
THAT RAILING WALTER IS LEANING ON IS 10 STORIES UP WITH 6TH AVENUE DOWN BELOW...REMEMBER AVENUES HERE RUN NORTH AND SOUTH SO THATS A VIEW OF 6TH LOOKING SOUTH....WALTER LOOKING NORTH AND JUST ONE BLOCK UP...IN WALTER'S FIELD OF VISION,  IS AN ENTRANCE TO CENTRAL PARK.
 
NOT WANTING TO MISS ANYTHING AFETER THE BRIEF OUTDOOR INTERLUDE WE HEADED BACK INSIDE TO THE RECEPTION AREA...ADN WHO DOES WALTER WALK RITE INTO .. NONE OTHER THAN THE OTHER WALTER-KB2GSD
 
YEP SITTING THERE MEETING AND GREETING EVERYONE IT WAS WALTER CRONKITE....WELL NOT WANTING TO MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY WE CAME RIGHT AROUND THE OTHER WAY AND GOT TO SHAKE HANGS AND HAVE A LITTLE CHAT:
 
TALK ABOUT IMPRESSED...WE WERE TRULY IMPRESSED WITH KB2GSD BUT WOW LOOK WHO WALTER FOUND NEXT....
THATS ANDY ROONEY OF "60 MINUTES" SEATED WITH WA4LT BEHIND HIM AUDITIONING FOR THE JOB OF BODY GUARD...ONCE ANDY GOT MOVING AGAIN WE MOVED IN FOR THE TRADTIONAL HAND SHAKE AND CHAT:
 
ANDY IS NO DIFFERENT IN PERSON THAN THE IMAGE YOU SEE ON TV....WE HAD A NICE VISIT WITH HIM BUT WOW   6PM ALREADY AND TIME TO HEAD ON IN TO THE DINING ROOM...FOLLOWING WA4LT HE HAD NO TROUBLE FINDING OUR TABLE....NUMBER "22" OF COURSE..WHY YOU THINK IT WOULD BE 17 OR SOMETHING HUH!
WELL THE MOB FILED IN AND EVERYONE GOT SEATED..IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THIS WAS A SELL OUT....NOT A SINGLE EMPTY SEAT IN THE HOUSE...
ANDY ROONEY WAS THE MASTER OF CEREMONIES:
 
AND DID A "FINE" JOB OF RUNNING THE EVENTS OF THE EVENING....
 
BUT ALL TOO SOON IT WAS ALL OVER FOR YET ANOTHER YEAR...
 
AND TIME FOR ALL OF US TO SAY SO LONG TILL WE ALL GATHER BACK AGAIN IN 2008
WILL YOU BE WITH US NEXT YEAR?  WE SURE HOPE SO...
