      The club station circa 1951 in the old Lafayette City Hall & Police
      Station, now a parking lot across from the new city hall. Glen Rogers-W9ASX (seated) with 
	  then Lafayette Mayor Albert Krabbe (right). 
	  The person on the left is unknown.  The rack mounted transmitter
      partially shown on the left was the old LPD unit used for mobile
      communications prior to WWII and operated on frequencies near the present
      160m ham band.  When the police dept. converted to VHF FM, the old
      transmitter was given to the club and converted to 10m.  It is
      believed the old police call was WQFQ.

      The mafia has arrived in these photos. Glen Rogers is in the dark cap, slacks
      and light shirt.  Others unknown.  Best guess at date and
      location is Field Day 1952 at the WASK transmitter site.
