History, fortunately not lost to the paper shredders and recycling, thanks to archive.org.
Charles Clemens, K6QD, writes of his experience as the first CW operator at the White House. In 1942 he was reassigned from WAR to travel aboard the Presidential train Old 1401 carrying Presidents Roosevelt and Truman traveling across country. I found it an interesting piece with details of the equipment and antenna used to communicate with the White House.

The website has virtually all of 73 (1960-2003) and the unfortunately short-lived Ham Radio Horizons.
