[Motorola] Multiple mobile radios on one band --Interactions

[Doug Fitts]

Hello Mike:

An interesting note about your callsign...WV2ZOW....back in my high
school days 1958-1961 the callsigns used then were the prefix WV2 for
a Novice then when one would upgrade to Tech or General the callsign
went to the WA2 prefixes. My orginal callsign was WV2DLE as a Novice
then as I upgraded to the eventual General clas [what I have now] it
became WA2DLE.

I have since changed into the vanity callsign program and currently
use the one I have now. I have been living here in Tucson now next
month, will be 16 years and I am from the NYC area! Just an FYI for
you on your callsign "history". I realize my comments are not related
to the subject but what the Heck.....an observation is an
observation...73!
