[JMS] RE: Millen Relatives

[Joe Rubin]

Don, thanks for the post. While looking, I noticed that the call sign W1HRX 
ia assigned as a club (CA) station and there is no club for it. FCC regs say 
there must be a least four (4) members. Do you think we can get the callsign 
for the JMS? I called Stevens Institute in NJ and talked to the Registrars 
office. They said they may be able to provide some information. I am 
pursuing that. We should have the picture(s) of the headstone from the 
cemetery next week. Sherrill Watkins is also working from his end.   73  Joe
