Looking for 1960's callbook
 

After a lapse of inactivity of almost 40 years, I want to revive my
participation in amateur radio.

I'm planning to take the tech exam soon but have discovered that
If I can prove that I had a technician license, I can get credit for
the code test and enhanced theory. In essence, finding that
proof will get me a general for a technician test.

My problem is that I discovered that BCPI, the archiver for the FCC
has no 1960s liscense archives. THey were reduced to microfiche
an later lost in a flood!!! Some archive.

Anyway, my old callsign was WB2VWZ. I got my tech during college
(1962 - 1966) and I lived in Staten Island, NY.

If anyone has an old callbook, I may be able to use a copy of a page
from it.

Please let me know.

Paul

I did! They had what I needed! I got a 2nd day UPS envelope, today,
with a page from the Summer, 1968 Callbook Magazine with my name and
license!


Wahoo!
