Up until 1952 the "K" stations were Military Recreation Club stations. Then the FCC claimed that it was running out of "W" calls for civilian hams and they started issuing "K" calls - as I well know. My High School buddies were getting the last of the "W2"s but the FCC issued one of the earliest "K2"s to me. I was mad...but I got even. I worked for the agency for 28 years! -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
