[Elecraft] OT: Vanity call question

[Ken]

A, AA, AD prefixes were used by Army MARS (same number and suffix),  
Likewise AF MARS used AF, AAF, AFB...    I think it was in the 1980's 
that the FCC started using the A prefix.  IIRC, ham calls were not 
recycled in the old days.

1963 I received my Novice (WN8JXM) and later that year Tech and General 
(WA8JXM) which I have kept even though I had the Extra in 1968 and could 
have possibly gotten a 1x2 or 2x1 call.  But this call is ME, no one 
else ever had it.
