Edward Busch is listed at that address in the 1936 callbook.

He is not listed in the 1932 Call book.....

Hope this is  a bit of help

Cheers

>> COMMENT: I got my ham license 26 June 2008. The call I got from the

>> W2FCP and was issued it on 15 July 2008. From the stories he told he was
>> into radios from the time he was 8 years old. He stopped operating when
>> he
>> got too weak to go down the stairs to his shack, and then later was bed
>> ridden for two years. I inherited his radios and books (full of antenna
>> designs and notes). I would like to try to find out when he initially

>> licensed. I know he was operating when I was real little, and I was born
>> in 73. The information I got off the web only goes back to 1995. I was
>> wondering if someone could look in the old call books and figure out
>> when
>> he was initially licensed. I also have the first printing of The Radio
>> Handbook (May 1935) that he purchased from Sun Radio Co in New York
>> City.
>> The 1946 Radio Handbook with his call on the inside cover. An ARRL
>> Antenna
>> book from 1968 with his call written on the inside cover.
>>
>> Here is his address that he lived at from 1940\\\'s on.

>> Edward Busch

>> Ozone Park, NY
