The History of W9CQ
The Wisconsin Amateur Radio Club is honored to have the call of W9CQ once held by Paul Kent of Vincennes, IN. Paul received his ham license in 1939 with the call of W9HGP. He received his Extra license in 1968 and applied for a two-letter call form the FCC. He was granted it and became the first holder of the call W9CQ. He held the call until his passing in 2006. In his 67 years as a ham radio operator he enjoyed working all modes of HF, both phone and CW. He loved CW and was able to work it a 80 WPM. He worked a lot of DX and QRP between 1965 and 1980, confirming 250 countries. He used Ten Tec equipment. For more pictures and information click on Paul Kent. |
