[Fourlanders] old callsign request

[Ron Rogers]

Know anyone in the area over there that's a member of the QCWA ? Their main
office has Callbooks going clear back a minimum of 50 years. Someone could
call the office and ask a favor to confirm the call.

Chapter 88 used to the be the Huntsville chapter of QCWA.....however, that
chapter no longer is active. The closest Alabama chapter would be Montgomery
and the contact there is K8AJX.

A WA4A _ _  call would have been issued back in the 50s timeframe, is my
guess.

Good morning! Hope you're staying warm. Nothing like 78° Thursday afternoon,
and this morning it's 34°!! 



Does anybody have any old callbooks or other callsign resources that would
pre-date the Internet? 



Here's the situation over here in Huntsville. We have a "ham" on a local
repeater using a callsign that does not exist. He acts and talks every bit a
ham. He's not malicious in any way. He is using WA4AFN. 

The only place it appears is in a Google search - referencing a QRP
reflector years ago. 

We would prefer to confront the guy by phone or in person - in case he has
some issue going on like Alzheimer's. 

Unless you know an Internet resource for OLD callsigns, don't bother looking
online. I'm looking for a paper resource like old call books! 

Thanks & 73,
