THE PEMBROKE JOURNAL
Varied Hobbies
Are Interest of
R. H. Couple
When life moves at such a rapid
clip it’s quite refreshing to meet
someone who finds time to en
joy a hobby. But how unusual
it is to meet one who has time for
several hobbies and enjoys them
to the full.
“Phil” Phillips is such a per
son. He’s the man who waves at
youngsters from the cab as the
train roars by; he’s the hero of
small boys who want to fly; he’s
the envy of those who love photo
graphy, and he’s the voice one
might hear over short wave.
When he was a student at Sa
vannah High, Phil often dreamed
of becoming a “ham operator.”
But like most dreams, it waited
until 1956 when he and several
friends began to work in earnest.
Phil’s first set was built from a
kit which he bought, and small
tho it was, (a 50 watt receiver) it
transported him across the miles
to such places as Japan and the
Far East. As most hobbies do,
it grew until today a special room
houses Phil’s present equipment.
According to Hargie, Phil’s
small attractive wife, the radio i
room is off-limits as far as clean
ing goes. “I don’t dare touch a
thing,” she moans. But you can
see her touch in the cards on the
bulletin board sent from nearly
every country in the world. On
the wall over the radio equipment
hangs the license and certificates
that certify that A. O. Phillips
has “worked all states, W.A.S.”
an d “worked all continents,
W.A.C”. and that he can send 25
words per minute in code.
The equipment consists of a Vik
ing Valient transmiter and a Na
tional N. C. 300 receiver and, as
one might expect, boxes and boxes
of tubes, condensers, resistors etc.
to keep everything in working
order. Phil is the only ham radio
operator in Bryan County and is
a member of the Georgia Emer
gency Net, an organization mainly
concerned with communication in
times of disasters.
Although Margie always takes
an active interest in Phil’s hob
bies she admits that radio can be
a little too technical for her at
times. But there is always the
excitement of hearing from people
so far away. Phil tells of a dis
cussion he heard between some
one here in the east and a woman
in Kansas. They discussed music
and musicians for some time. Sud
denly he realized that the woman
was Mrs. Tex Benecke, wife of
the famous bandleader. She and
her husband used short wave as
a means of communicating while
he was on tour. He explained that
many people had sets in their
cars, particularly traveling sales
men who wanted to contact their
families regularly. A great many
service men are radio fans. In
fact, young and old, rich and poor
are equally interested. Phil’s
year old boy to a grandmother
contacts have ranged from a seven
who enjoys it immensely. Os
course, international coke knows
no barriers and cards pour into
the Phillip’s mailbox from such
countries as Yugoslavia, Czecho
slavia Poland, Belgium, Den
mark, Argentina, Finland, Swe
den, Switzerland, Italy, Hawaii,
etc.
Incidently, Phil’s call letters are
K - 4 - I - M - U which are also
the letters on his auto tag. This
is a service which most states of
fer radio operators.
On the walls of the radio room
and throughout the living room
is evidence of yet another reward
ing hobby, photography. Both
Phil and Margie were in the com
mercial end of the business in
Georgetown before moving here.
They both hope to build a dark
room in the near future in which
to house the equipment they
brought with them. Particular
ly beautiful are the photographs
taken of Fort Pulaski and several
Savannah church spires. A most
interesting picture of Margie and
their small plane hangs in the
radio room. Although flying was
another love, they ruefully ex
plain that they had to give it up
when radio became their greatest
interest.
Nearly a year ago this versatile
couple decided to venture forth
in a new field. They fell in love
with an electric organ belonging
to Phil's sister and bought one for
themselves. The fact that neither
one could read a note of music
didn’t bother them a bit. In a
very short time Phil was play
ing by ear and Margie had taught
herself to read music. Progress
' has been rapid and they are be
ginning to play the more difficult
classical pieces.
Phil was born Alvah Oswell
Phillips, Jr. in Savannah, Georgia.
Mr. Phillips, Sr. is living in Shell
man Bluff near Darien. Margaret
Benton Phillips was born in Ports
mouth, Va. and the couple met
and married in Georgetown S. C.
Phil is an engineer for the Sea
board Railway and at the present
time his hours are quite irregular.
Margie whiles away the time at
the organ and in caring for their
pets which include two fairly large
dogs.
It’s a fair bet that with all their
current activities this amazing
couple will come up with a new
interest in a very short time.
