I'll call "CQ AWA" in hopes of generating some action...to you
uninitiated (and shame on you!), "AWA" stands for the "Antique Wireless
Association", stalwart champions of the annual "Bruce Kelley Memorial
1929 QSO Party", amongst many other wonderful things pertaining to
radio's heritage (SHAMELESS PLUG DEPARTMENT: this year's running of the
'29 QSO Party is December 2-3, and again on December 9-10, starting at
2300 UTC, and finishing at 2300 UTC for both periods...remember, you
heard it here first!).
It also stands for Amalgamated Wireless of Australia, makers of the 3BZ
Teleradio sets used by the Coast Watchers during WW II.
