Think I found something but it's certainly not definitive... =========================== SPACE CADETS _ VERSION 1 CQ CQ CQ - No Lids, No Kids, No Space Cadets -- "Attributed to the late W2OY, Mike, back in the late 40's on 75 meters when it was a Class "A" only band. Mike was known around the northeast for this everytime he called CQ." >From Bob Wilder, W4RHW SPACE CADETS - VERSION 2 If you didn't hear W2OY, you missed a one-of-a-kind. Actually, he said, "CQ CQ CQ. No kids, no lids, no school bus riders or space cadets. No kings, no queens, no jacks. This is the NO PHONETICS station, W2OY." I heard that hams in his town got so worked up over his antics, that somebody sneaked into his yard one night and drove a pin through his coax, but I have no way of knowing whether this story is true. -- From Bill, NG3O =========================== I'm not sure the full text is found, yet... oh, well... it was fun to remember. 73 = Best Regards, -=Jeff/W5OMR=-
