[Boatanchors] Old call book assistance

[Bob Kester]

John...

I'm finding in the current FCC database:

LOOKUP> kd8cwx

KD8CWX
Sawchuk, John
3118 Kingsley Dr
Troy MI, 48084
            Class: TECH
   Previous Class:
Previous Callsign:
   License Status: Active
       Grant Date: 02/23/2006
     Expired Date: 02/23/2016
   Effective Date: 02/23/2006
 Last Action Date: 02/23/2006

And another search shows a possible age for this fellow as 85.

Might be the same fellow, and if not, he might be aware of W8ILZ.

...73, Bob, K2JJT
