JOHN ELLSWORTH Through many years of struggle, disappointment, lack of money, lack of a location, necessary moves from location to location, hard work, patience, perseverance, belief in the need of preserving a hands-on living history of communications, John Ellsworth not only never yielded to discouragement, but also inspired others to help build this outstanding achievement which includes an operating ham station W1VCM. _http://www.nationalcommunicationsmuseum.org/_ *_The _**_Hartford_**_ Courant said:_* /Ellsworth created the museum in 1990 out of a desire to share his interest in vintage radio with future generations. Ellsworth, who was already collecting antiques with his wife, grew interested in electronics after being asked to teach a class on the subject. After purchasing his first vintage radio, he quickly amassed a large collection.? One day I saw an old tube radio, and I thought, `With my limited electronic background, I bet I can fix that,'" Ellsworth said. "Before I knew it I had about 200 at home.? Assisted by an anonymous $40,000 donation the museum paid off long accumulated debts and opened to the public in October 2007/ *SO COME!
