I actually remember hearing the CQs in the 1960s. There was only one guy that did it as far as I know. He had a two letter W call and was located in Arizona. He camped on 20 meter SSB. The call was
CQ old timer, no Ks, no WAs, no Kids, no Lids, no Space Cadets. Since I had a K call, was in my 20s and an Air Force Officer I figured that he did not want to talk to me so I tuned on. I don't remember his name or call but surely he is a Silent Key by now. If old age didn't make him a Silent Key by now, the alphabet soup call signs would. At the time the WB calls were just being assigned in California.
This Gentleman? went on my list of people I did not want to emulate when I grew up. I still remember him and I still do not want to emulate him.
