In 1961 it was one year, I don't remember went to two
and then five years.

Anything that would have his 'WN1' call sign on it.  A QSL card or logbook 
entry, including someone he may have worked. A receipt from a radio store 
that lists his call or minutes from the local radio club meetings. A mailing 
label on a QST or 73 magazine,  Did he qualify for  WAS, RCC or BPL?  Check 
into the VT section nets?  Maybe his elmer can help.

Hi Again guys,

we've narrowed it down to somewhere between 1961 and 1964 that my friend was 
first licensed as a novice. I have the 67 call book, but he's not in there. 
How long were novice licenses good for back then?

Did the FCC assign "WN1"'s back then to all 1-area novices?

Going through the 67 call book was not too bad, there were not may from VT 
so it was relatively easy to search by scanning through the state 
abbreviations.

Anyway, if anybody has any suggestions regarding finding:

Raymond K. Gadue
St. Albans, VT 05478

Please let me know. Worst case scenario, he'll have to brush up on his code 
and take the test again.
