Just looked at the FCC License Search Page (link below, left) for all the WA5I?? calls still in use. Of the 676 possible callsigns, only 88 are currently held by active hams.
This was the 1963-64 novice class. I worked many of the guys in that call group, like Lew, WN5IFS (later WA5IFS), WA5IBN, and WA5IBZ, among many others.
I'm sure a few of the group are still active under new calls, but it feels like missing friends, all the same.
