Title: Terry and his callsign?
Post by: David, K3TUE on September 16, 2006, 11:34:41 PM
Back around 1980 (or perhaps in the late '70's) when I was a young KN SWL (KN=Know Nothing preceeding my Johnny Novice) days in Buffalo, NY I recall hearing an AM'er quite often by the name of Terry (callsign unknown).  I know this is an odd/vague question, but does anyone know who he could be.  I was just curious, since, as I recall, he and Tim, WA1HLR were the most memorable/amusing AM'ers I could pick up on my friend's borrowed leather-cased Zenith I had to listen to the longwire I had out my window, does anyone know who he is and what his callsign is?

Sounds like you are probably talking aboout W2PFY.

That's Terry, and he's on 3885 ish  quite often during the day.

I don't know if he gets on da air at night or not.....

He was on last night, pissweak with a barefoot ricebox.  I didn't even recognize his voice, because I usually hear him with that wonderful Westinghouse of his.

I don't recall Terry being on AM around 1980. Maybe he was, under a different call. Didn't make much of an impression if he was. Lots of other Terrys out there.

Nope, It weren’t me. Tim has a friend in Maine that goes by the name Terry. He used to have a mint T-368 that he sold to someone in the NE area. He had health issues so I don't know if he is still kicking.

I wasn't even funny in those days. Nor did I have an Extra class license in those days gone by. I don’t have one now. Just a dumb General.
