Haters gonna hate.

Now head over to VanityHQ and have some fun with your antagonist's call.

Damn...almost forgot what it was like to post over there.

Hello.

My call can be traced all the way back to 1982, and it was a Novice.
Prior to that, , to 1978, again, Novice, but that expired after one year, I checked.
So there was a gap from 1979 to 1982 that I forgot about.

Call the toll-free number on the box, lately? Brings a whole new meaning to Ocho Cinco's.

If you had a novice call that expired in 1978, it wasn't KN5PIU. Do you remember the old callsign? Otherwise, without scanning a callbook, you'd have no way of checking. Your current call was issued in 1982. I checked and cross checked it. Vanity hq doesn't cover expired callsigns before 1981.

speaking of...trying to find history of my call. Sofar...nada. Just looking in wrong place maybe.

My 1965 callbook has W3BNY listed as

Walter J. Parker
210 Wiltshire Dr.
Chalfont, PA.

I'll go dig out the older books to see if he's in there...

Ren:

I think I figured out that Mr. Parker was licensed probably in 1949 or early 1950, as he doesn't show in my 1948 callbook, but W3BNU does. W3BNY shows in my 1955 callbook.

It appears the license became inactive sometime in the 70's. He's not in my 1979 callbook and I don't have one between 1969 (he's in) and 1979 (he's not).

W3BNY might have been issued pre-1940, but I don't have the resources to check.

I did check SSDI. I think Mr. Parker probably died either in 1990 (more likely) or 1997.
