[HCRA] W1NY History Questions from W1DGA

[Jim - KK1W]

Gang,

 

Please take a look at Dick's questions below. Any 'club rememberers' out
there that can help? Sound's like the answers could be interesting to
everyone.

 

I've also forwarded this directly to KB1MU for his input. As club historian
he may have the answers without even having to do any research.

 

Only a little over a month to the next meeting!

 

'73.

 

Jim, KK1W

I have always wanted to know the HCRA club call I got for the club back in
58-64 period. It was before Hank died & WiNY became available. Art Zaverella
being gone does not leave many in knowledge. 

! It was for field day & especially VHF operation. 

So, my new plan is to:

(1)    Find out yr or yrs I was the 1st young guy on board. Yrs of HCRS
sysm/split up!

(2)    Go into call domestic book of that period & find in the W1s either my
extra call, or the HCRA call given.

(3)    Another way would be QSTs of period in VHF section to see the HCRA
call being used for VHF contest other & before W1NY.
