OK all you OTs.  I'm just a Johnny come lately ! 
Received my novice in August 1957 (WN6YKS) when I was a 
freshman in high school. Later became W6YKS for about 20 years 
then K6YK. 
The  OTs  at the West Valley radio club were stunned that a young
whippersnapper like me (14 Yrs old) had a W6 call! 
I was also stunned because my high school chums all got KN6 calls, 
and I didn't know what to think about that WN6! 

73 all
John, K6YK

The multiplier was indeed 1.25. 
I lived on 15th Ave, between Lincoln & Irving...south of GG Park.

As KN6OPI I first worked Dick, KN6LRN, on Jan 14, 1956 on 15m at 2303Z. 
Subsequent Q's on 2/12/56, 5/22/56 and 5/27/56.

But I believe we were friends through SFRC prior to our first on-the-air
QSO;  SFRC met in the Forest Hills Clubhouse near the Forest Hills Muni
station above the Tunnel and we probably met in person there.  I remember
doing stuff (who knows what) locally with Dick, since we were both in SF
. . me at the Beach at 48th and Santiago; not sure where Dick lived.  I
was doing 9th grade at AP Giannini Jr HS in the Sunset.  I had many more
on the air Q's with Joe, KN6LVT, down the peninsula.  

Much later, I worked K6LRN  as N6ZFO, having stumbled into the CQP on a
Sat evening; that revived my interested in contesting.  I had won the CW
Sweepstakes for SF section in maybe 1958 with 126,000 points in the old
system where a 1.25 power* multiplier was applied to the score.  W6BIP
did not compete that year.

*One might think that 1.25 score mult was an approximate;  My short
writeup in the K6XX SS Handbook, shows that an independent calculation in
~2002 gives a "correct" multiplier of ~1.27. I did that calculation to
show that multi-thousand $'s put into amps gives only a 25% or so score
increase; a much smaller amount put into antennas often gives an equal or
bigger dividend.
