And add on to W2OY's CQ - "No Buster Brown Haircutters, no phoney phonetics,
only real Hams please"
There were several of us in high school in the early 60's that used to get
on 75M phone every afternoon and talk about stuff teenagers talk about - not
much. W2OY used to follow us around and call his famous CQ tirade wherever
we went. Wish I still had a copy of the tape I sent to the FCC.
I wonder what happened to all those who joined in the "School Bus Net"?

As I remember from late 50s possibly early 60s, the ditty went
No WAs ( Double-U-AAAs), No WBs (No Double-U-Bees),
No Lids, No Kids, No Space Cadets, please....
well, that's what I recall hearing him from my NNJ QTH
as WB2JDW back then.
I think he finally became a silent key in early 70s
