alt Hacker Newsthis is very random, but in the 1940s-1980s my grandfather was active in that region/community. I have his call number (from a QSL I found on eBay) and have tried all the obvious searches to learn more, but am wondering if you have any recommendations for learning more about the history of ham in that area
Really cool you found his QSL card on ebay! Unfortunately I don't have many ideas. Do you know if he was affiliated with a college club at some point? I did some ham-genealogy work several years ago for my old college club by searching the school's library and found a surprising amount of information. You might also search the county library system for his name or callsign. They've done a great job of digitizing and making searchable all the old microfiche etc.
