[SEDXC] K4RPK

[Dave - KB4ET]

Hey Dave:
   Ed Mau was a neighbor of mine when I lived in ATL. I lived in the Lenox 
Park area and he lived down Highland Ave (Morningside area) .. I don't 
remember his call either (barely can remember my own). He, before the War, 
had one of those 1X1 - W4? calls and after the War was W4?? - I'll dig back 
thru some of those SEDXC (yellow) membership/needed/confirmed booklets and 
see if I can come up with his call. He and Breezy were big buddies. Now 
I'll be telling my age if I don't shut up.. 73
