- The servers you mentioned won't help this guy answer
- his question about old callsigns from the 60s and 70s.
- The data doesn't go back that far but I wish it did.
-
- None of my old callsigns are listed on the servers and
- I've been licensed continuously since 1965 (WN2TQK, WB2TQK,
- WD9CQM, ...) .
-
- Also, some people *incorrectly* assume that you can tell how
- long a ham has been licensed from the data on these servers.
