This week, we received a package with no cover letter. It contained a 
notebook of club meeting minutes from the 1928-29 school year for the 
Brooklyn Technical High School club which had been 2CXN. There is a note 
indicating that the callsign was then W2CXN (which it is today).

The secretary was Dave Kreer, W2KY.
The president was G SHANNON, W2AIL.

There are also some out of place entries:
"Continuing the BTHS Tradition
Jacob Z. Schanker
W2STM 5/28/58"

What looks like a "Photostat" copy of a Public Service Certificate dated 
November 10, 1937 sites the club for work in "connection with amateur radio 
emergency work during U. S. eastern shore hurricane, Sept. 1936, as 
recounted on page 46, Nov. 1936 QST."

We are interested in any further info about any of these.  We especially 
would like to see what was on page 46 as above.


Thanks
