CLASS "A" OPERATORS
Back in the 1950's and early 1960's, there was a select group of amateurs from the Buffalo and Western New York area, who were known on the ham bands as CLASS "A" OPERATORS.
The Buffalo Kilowatt Bookends home office recently received a picture going back to the early 1950's, showing two well known members of that group. Dick, W2UJR, and Mike, W2OY, both now silent keys, were heard with regularity on the 75 meter phone band operating AM. Like their strong AM signals, they are gone, but not forgotten.  W2UJR and W2OY circa 1950's

The Class "A" Operators writeup and photo bring back some great memories. I lived only a few miles from Mike and heard him all the time on 80 meters and 40 meters.
I operated AM starting in 1962 with call sign WA2VOL. W2UJR also lived nearby and I recall working him on both 80 meters and 160 meters. This is a great blog and I really enjoy seeing all the old photos. Great to see those QSL cards from Mike Premus with his earlier 8th district calls. Kent AA6P |
