Title: Any one have an early 30's Handbook? Post by: Carl WA1KPD on June 11, 2005, 08:29:53 AM I am looking for street information on W1CEK of Deep River, CT. I have a scan of a QSL of his from 1931
Thanks and 73 Carl Title: Any one have an early 30's Handbook? Post by: Vortex Joe - N3IBX on June 11, 2005, 09:18:20 AM Carl - I did a brief search in a '50's callbook I have and didn't turn up anything for W1CEK.
I'll go through the QST database I have and see if I can turn anything up for him or 1CEK. Without an earlier callbook to search from, the only other thing I could do would be to check the physical copies of QST I have from 1917-1920. During that time they would sometimes list new hams and give their street address, etc etc. Do you have any other information other than his callsign? Title: Any one have an early 30's Handbook?

I appreciate the help 73 Carl Title: Any one have an early 30's Handbook? Post by: Tom WA3KLR on June 11, 2005, 10:44:07 AM Carl,
Success this time. I called my father, Paul W3VVS. He has a June 1931 callbook: Earl J. Atkinson 53 Main St. Deep River, Conn. It would be interesting to see a then and now picture if his QSL card included the outside of the QTH. Title: Any one have an early 30's Handbook? Post by: Carl WA1KPD on June 11, 2005, 10:48:56 AM Thanks Tom. No picture but I will see what I can find. I used to live in Deep River and unfortunately in the 80s they renumbered the entire town. I went t form 50 high St to 73 High St. (Not a bad address for a ham. AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
