Re: WTW
Just keep working every station you see and don't worry about the totals. You'll get there faster because you won't waste a lot of time doing search & pounce for specific letters. I just kept working everything I saw and then I was there. Think a lot of us spend to much time and effort looking for certain calls. Grids is another example, if I worried about the grids and was out actively hunting them, I'd some be having conversations with myself. Jerry n9avy

Re: KN4 calls - blast from the past !
Steve VA3FLF/KM4FLF
When did the WN stop being issued? I got my novice sometime around 1973 or 74. My call was WA4QZP. I could never find my original ticket....buried in 40 years of stuff at Mom and Dad”s place. I was told all those old records were lost at the FCC.

Re: KN4 calls - blast from the past !
Those 2x1 and 1x2 calls go like hot cakes. People are waiting for years and pounce on them. There are web pages devoted to them with lots of data as to when they expire, belong to an SK, etc. If you know the SK's heirs, you can get one of them to sign off on it and the FCC will give you a grant almost immediately. That's how W9CA got reissued as a Club call. Yet, the original W9CA's license plate "W9CA" (IL white letters on red background) still hangs in the Elmhurst (IL) Portillo's. My old WD9HQQ call has not been reissued and rightfully so ... it was a pain in CW. Jerry n9avy
