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.
