George Ulm, W9EVT was born in the Free City of Danzig in 1930. In the mid-1930s
he moved to Chicago with his family. After W.W.II, he produced some of the
first convention exhibits for the Radio Parts Show in the Windy City. His
business later expanded to world’s fairs and conventions such as the CES in Las
Vegas and Chicago. George is a Korean Conflict veteran, taught electronics in
the Navy Air Corps, developed and put on air the first two meter amateur
repeaters in the late 1950s.
George has lived in Mexico, Europe, Africa and Australia with ham calls
associated with each part of the world. In the early 1960s he purchased an
apple and cherry farm on Washington Island, WI. At retirement he decided to
raise antennas on the property instead of fruit. He lives there year round with
his wife, Susan, his dogs, Sasha and Ivan and a very talkative African Gray
Parrot, B.B.
