This is a listing of some former call signs of friends who, as teenagers, were all active on the air together back in the late 1960s and early 1970s, mapped onto their current call signs. As K1RT aptly puts it, "we all went to (different) high schools together", mostly by yakking on 40 meters in the afternoon or on 80 between traffic nets. If you know of others who fit this loose criteria, please drop me an email. I started this list from memory, then added some by going through my old log books (roughly 1969 through 1973). If you ever checked into the ECTTN ("...you don't have to be a teenager, you don't have to be on the east coast, and you don't have to have traffic..."), or employed a "one-ringer" to prompt a friend to get on the air (usually to meet on 7.255), you belong on this list. Incidentally, you may recall that "Then and Now" was the title of a section in each edition of the Callbook where recent call sign changes were listed. The table is in Callbook order.
* Some kept their original call signs. |
