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....
de k3ft.. He had a number of them, variations on the main one 'No kids, no
lids, no
space cadets. Class A operators only'. I have heard the standard one, but was
told that
he would vary his patter depending on mood, QRM, and whether or not he was
being
baited/called by WA/WB etc. As has been noted by others.. (and I myself) He
was viewed
with a sort of 'fondness' (not seroius fondness, but rueful smile 'he's
eccentric' fondness) as 'our little non-offensive slightly weird crazy
eccentric
relative of the family that we put up with as he is harmless'
There were others, but he is the one that seems to have the widest legacy of
those who
heard him, know of him, or have knowledge of his antics.
