Speaking of OOTs, the original holder of W2IY was Ed Dugan who was licensed
in 1912....one of the "founding fathers" who was so homored at a 50th
anniversary banquet at the ARRL in 1962 (it was in QST in I think August
1962). I got the call in 1976 and have tried to learn more about Mr.
Dugan's amateur radio career but mostly I have run into dead ends. Anyone
ever tried this before?

Well Paul, I have a soft spot in my heart for the OOTs (old old
timers): my Dad, W5JHJ (original call), was licensed in 1939, two
years after you. He served in the AAF's version of the signal corps
in charge of the slave LORAN transmitter on Padre Is., well before
there were any tourists.
Cheers!
