A, AA, AD prefixes were used by Army MARS (same number and suffix),
Likewise AF MARS used AF, AAF, AFB... I think it was in the 1980's
that the FCC started using the A prefix. IIRC, ham calls were not
recycled in the old days.
1963 I received my Novice (WN8JXM) and later that year Tech and General
(WA8JXM) which I have kept even though I had the Extra in 1968 and could
have possibly gotten a 1x2 or 2x1 call. But this call is ME, no one
else ever had it.

"N" calls started out as Navy MARS calls -only-. Mine was N0SJP.
