[K3CAL] Fwd: CARA Call Sign History

[N3AE]

All, 

Got this info via Brian. Interesting history of our club call sign, K3CAL. When Woody Schwartz, W3ZNW, became a SK, we needed a new trustee for the repeater. Woody was the trustee and the repeater operated with his callsign. 

At that time, we did a search of available callsigns and found that K3CAL was available. We applied for the callsign and the rest is history.
