[Hallicrafters] Old calls

[W4AWM at aol.com]

Funniest thing about the old call reissuing.  A friend of mine had the  
first issue of W4AFM and was an old time railroad telegrapher. He could carry 
on  a 35WPM CW QSO, talk on the phone and to visitors in the shack and read 
the  newspaper all at the same time, making perfect sense out of it all.  His 
 son went to Atlanta back in 1953 and came back with the Novice call 
WN4ABM, now  W4ABM. We all thought the OM was going to have a heart attack!
