[QCWA] Callbook search for good cause

[Bob Roske]

Hi Art,

I wish you all the best in your effort to honor your friend.

The call books were sorted by call signs, an almost impossible task to find 
with out it.

Other places where Scotty's call may be listed:
field day logs often list the operators.
minutes from a local radio club.
a photo album
the manual for a piece of equipment purchased from the estate.  The name and 
call might be written somewhere on the cover or the sales slip might be 
inside.  I've seen both.
talk to old neighbors and friends, someone might remember the phonetics 
Scotty used.  My grandsons know my suffix is uniform foxtrot.
Was there a newspaper article written about the water tower collapse?

I wish I could be more help.

gl es 73,
Bob, N0UF
