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
