> Alma Mater W1MX was on in SS, both modes. I was there during the era when
a lot of college clubs were active, even in HF contesting -- W8UM, W8SH,
W9YB, W1ET, W9YT (my grad school). A lot of good contest op's come through
those clubs. I noticed several of the following W1MX alumni in SS CW, and
they have told me a few calls current in contesting that I had forgotten or
did not know.

VHF), W5XD, and N1MM.

there in Contestland?

MIT alum N1AU (my dad) was on with me multi/single at his house. He was
1949 or 1950, five years before getting licensed however. We are both also
Cornell alums (him 1948, me 1976). I saw W2CXM Cornell ARC spotted but
didn't work them.
We also worked W9YT, W8SH, and W8UM. We worked a few other "S" stations
that I didn't recognize, and for fun I asked each of them what the school
was. One was Nacogdoches High School in east Texas. Another was a trade
school in Washington. What school was KB0VVT ? I didn't ask...
