In the wartime QSTs, they talk about the WERS (War Emergency Radio
Service ?)radio service. It appears that hams in Civil Defense were
involved. They had callsigns akin to what you've related.

Had an inquiry that sed his Dad's call was W10XEG

Before 1946 -- I think there were just call areas one thru nine.

Sometime around 1946, the 10th call area was established -- the zero
district, but was this ever the W10 area ??

Also the X in the suffix -- I thought was for experimental stations ???

Any old timers recall ??

Thanks

Post any answers here please
