Harv,
Go to a real library and check out QST from roughly 1940-60 and CQ from
1947-60.
Your aunts experience and many others has been well covered back in the
days when a ham ticket required knowledge.
If ur call is original you have that knowledge Harv, just think about it.
The answer is almost staring you in the face .
Heck, this reflector needs a discussion change anyway.
