Virtually every Y call in my 1934 Callbook is a school. But they got away
from
that by the 1947 Callbook where the vast majority is not.

See Stanford ARC W6YX (1922) is Stanford,

In 1934 W6YX is listed as "same QRA as W6FBU". W6FBU is listed to James M
Sharp
Jr. at Stanford Eng. W6FBU then also lists W6DMY. W6DMY lists the home
address
of Sharp, apparently the Stanford station trustee. Probably more than you
wanted
to know, but I found it interesting...
