I recently had the opportunity to meet and talk with Rainer Weiss. As a 
follow up to some of his comments in his presentation, I mentioned ham 
radio.  He quickly responded with his call sign, but too quickly for 
me.  A search by name on QRZ. com found nothing.  I would like to know 
what his call sign was. I think it would be of interest to my student 
club members at Brooklyn Technical High School - W2CXN.  He was born in 
1932 and lived in NYC in the 1940's after the war.  A bio on line 
describes his shopping at "Radio Row" and being limited by how much he 
could carry home on the subway.

Rainer Weiss shared the 2017 Physics Nobel Prize for his work in 
discovery of Gravity Waves.


Thanks, 73, Lew
