[GreenKeys] More on Gernsback

[Bob kb8tq]

Hi

If you look at the Amateur calls, they certainly appear to be self assigned. Go back a few years from 
that point and records are going to be pretty slim. The definition of an Amateur also gets pretty fuzzy. 
Since Gernsback was already “in business”, it’s a good bet his Amateur adventures were before this point.
