Our dear friend, Bill Tynan, put one of the earliest (perhaps the first?) FM stereo stations on the air as an experimental station.  It’s call sign?  W3XO.  

(The station originally licensed as W3XO later was licensed in regular FM broadcasting service as WGMS [Washington’s Good Music Station].)

When the experimental station call sign block containing W3XO was transferred from experimental stations and became assignable to amateur stations, Bill applied for and was granted W3XO for his amateur station.

Bill: you were one of a kind and we miss you dearly.  Thanks for being a teacher, colleague, and friend for so many years.
