 | Did you know? In 1964 Leo's WRL Team were spot-on with the Galaxy III and V |
 I ran across a sales brochure add-on from WRL's Galaxy line. Leo and his guys sure had their act together back then. They sold tons of the Galaxy V, not so many of the three band unit though, as the prices were too close.
Here’s a scan of the list, originally published in 1964-
Did you know? Galaxy III and V transceivers:
1. Have the most RF power output of any transceiver this size.
2. Are the smallest in size of any 5 or 3 band transceiver.
3. Are the most easily adapted to mobile operation (less than one cubic foot of space needed).
4. Has the finest six crystal lattice filter available in any transceiver. With a filter width of only 2.1 KC's at 6 DB, and only 3.8 KC's at 60 DB down.
5. Have receiver sensitivity comparable to any receiver available today, regardless of price, and better than most. Remember receiver sensitivity is BETTER than 1/2 microvolt for 10 DB S/N.
6. Have one of the finest dual attack and release AVC systems available, makes the receiver, on frequency, virtually block proof on the strongest signals.
7. Have an average of 8 to 10 DB of ALC, which aids in preventing flat-topping and distortion of the transmitted signal.
8. Have carrier suppression in EXCESS of 45 DB and unwanted sideband suppression in EXCESS of 55 DB.
9. Have selectable Upper and Lower sideband on all bands.
10. Are the only transceivers available, which incorporate the EZ VUE DIAL for minimum visual error of frequency readout while operating mobile.
11. Are manufactured with the strictest possible quality control. Each unit is individually subjected to rigorous tests that exceed any normal use for which intended.
12. Have been tested and demonstrated (at ARRL National Convention, 1964, New York City) at full output, (200 Watts into an accurate dummy load) for over 5 minutes continuous CW carrier, without loss of power output or damage to tubes or components.
13. Full uniform output on all bands, 10-80 meters.
14. Have shifted CW carrier for best CW operation.

| Galaxy V Mark II Manual - Free Download |
|
Those of you who own a Galaxy V Mark II and have "made do" with a close schematic for the plain Galaxy V will be happy to find the newest addition in the downloads section. You should find the PDF of better quality than the BAMA Galaxy V schematic. 73- Bill N4BKT

| Happy Birthday Leo! |

On March 16th, there was a wonderful 95th birthday party for Leo Meyerson W0GFQ- founder of the famous World Radio Labs held in a really nice park gazebo in Palm Desert, California, probably 75 or more attended.
The event was sponsored by QCWA Chapter 154 and hosted by Chapter President Gene Pentecost W4IMT. Many other chapter members were there to help with the cooking and hospitality. Numerous celebrities arrived and many Hams came from a long ways away. One guy said he came in all the way from Michigan!
The American Radio Relay League was represented by Southwestern (continued)

| 1949 World Radio Labs Catalog |
This is the cover of the 1949 World Radio Laboratories catalog featuring WRL PERSONALIZED SERVICE. Featured on the cover is "Maj H.N. Detrick, J2DND, Nagoya Japan "Nelse" works many fellows stateside and says his Globe King is tops". Also featured are Doc Wilson, W5NIH and Harlan Dewitz, W0DHO. The captions under their photos read: "O. A. "Doc" Wilson, W5NIH at his GLOBE TROTTER. His brother "Judge" W5NIG and Henry W5KJZ also have GLOBE TROTTERS, Making Mont Belvieu, Texas 100% WRL equipped". and "Harlan Dewitz, W0DHO, Wisner, Nebr. says in 20 years of Hamming he hasn't seen a better value than the GLOBE KING."
This is the oldest WRL catalog I presently have and certainly the most expensive. I purchased the catalog on auction at eBay last week.

| Galaxy CAL-250 Manual and Schematic |
Hi All,
If anyone is looking for a manual for the Galaxy CAL-250 we now have one in PDF form available on the site. I went so far as to include color photos in addition to the original do*****entation. The schematic indicates a 100 KHz crystal- the crystal is marked 117.5 in the photos so that must indicate the frequency. Take a look in the downloads if you want it. It's free.
