Bill Carns, N7OTQ, is the past president of the CCA and a founding board member since 1994. He has been involved in amateur radio since 1954. He has been collecting Collins since 1985 when the “bug bit”. – HARD. Having been exposed to an “absolutely amazing” set of Gold Dust Twins while in university, of course this was his first Collins Radio acquisition. Bill is passionate about preserving, and telling the story of, the ethic and talents that founded and fostered the success of Collins Radio and now Rockwell Collins. Stories and more information can be found on his website at K0CXX.com. His collection and presentation attempts to tell the story of a wonderful group of people – starting with Arthur Collins – that are responsible for many of the strategic successes in our country’s history. He is still holding down the fort as the Editor and publisher of the CCA Signal Magazine, and will continue to support this exciting hobby of Collins collecting. He also is the trustee and president of the Mogollon Rim Collins Collecting Club (MRCCC – K0CXX) and a founder of the Collins Radio Heritage Group, an alliance of the CCA and the AWA. See K0CXX,org and collinsradioheritagegroup.org . . . He hopes that you will share your story and your collections for other to enjoy and learn from. My thanks to Rudy Kerl, K2MVW, my good friend and Collins mentor.
