Title: 1956 Callbook Post by: Chris P. on October 14, 2010, 01:52:50 PM Does anyone have a 1956 callbook handy? I found a set of 1956 Virginia license plates with the call W4JG and was wondering who they may have belonged to.
Thanks Title: Re: 1956 Callbook Post by: W3GMS on October 14, 2010, 02:13:35 PM W4JG

The plates haven't traveled too far. That address is about 15 miles from my house. It looks like W4JG is held by someone in NC now. Title: Re: 1956 Callbook Post by: WB3LEQ on October 15, 2010, 09:46:43 AM Millard F. Eakle 1888 - 1973 on findagrave.com

I am glad you found it and it did not land in a waste dump somewhere. Things like that with me usually lead me down a historical path to learn more about the individual.

Sorry to hear that he is now an SK, but I notice he did live longer than his wife. It would be interesting to see when he first got on that air. He was certainly old enough to be on in the spark days. Regards, Joe, W3GMS |
