Over the years we have auctioned a number of fine collections of current and past CCAWA members. But for the long-time worker bees of the Conference, the one we offer for the 2010 Charlotte Conference is the hardest one we have ever taken on....
It's with a heavy heart that we list the collection of our dear friend Ernie Hite who passed away just a few months ago.
Ernie had been a big part of all of our lives and the Charlotte meet for 30 years.
Ernie's passion was for collecting the rarest of the rare in early radio and restoring
most of them to pristine - museum grade condition.
He won first place ribbons in just about every contest he entered.
Now we have the job of auctioning his wonderful collection for the family.
