He can't remember the fellow's name, but he remembers being in the his shack and hearing him call CQ from "Willy Able Four John Tere Marie, slant 4 Charlottesville". From 1973 Callbook: WA4JTM (C) Tom Carey 102 Essex Dr Ormond Beach FL 32074 Thank you, Aaron. The information has been forwarded to my friend Dave in Richmond and the name clicked in his memory. He now has a place to start looking for his old mentor. You're welcome. After reading other posts here I rechecked the 1973 listing. While I copied the zip correctly, I flubbed on the name. It should be Tim, not Tom. Sorry about that. It's amazing how much smaller that font has gotten since I got that book.  BTW I went ahead and checked my 1984 call book and thecall had disappeared. I also checked my oldest 'searchable' database (Sams 1994) for the name 'Tim Carey' and WA4JTM and nothing there either. It seems Tim left the ham scene. One can only speculate. Maybe a silent key, or inactivity? And of course your friend might have gotten the phonetics wrong. I can't remember ever hearing a ham using "Tere" or "Marie" before. Let us know how your friend makes out and if he has any other guesses, or clues, I'd be happy to try again. |
