[Boatanchors] Re Old "WPE" SW Calls From Popular Electronics

[Peter Markavage]

My certificate looks like what's at this URL"
http://www181.pair.com/otsw/WPE/WPE6AF.jpg
The only difference is my name, location, and date issued was handwritten
in ink. The above certificate shows this information typed in. Of course
it's not clear if the certificate recipient received the certificate with
these fields blank and he typed it in or it was done by Tom Kneitel.
Definitely, no fields on my certificate where penned in by me. Much too
neat for my writing.
