This video presents the history of my ham radio (amateur radio) callsign, W2AEW. I’ve discovered that at least two amateurs have held W2AEW prior to me, and that at least 2 more have held the predecessor callsign, 2AEW. I’ve located QSL cards for the previous holders of W2AEW, but not for the older 2AEW licensees. I’m hoping someday to complete a collection of QSL cards from each of the previous license holders. Here is a link to a website that has great tips for researching old call signs:

Scans of more than 50 old callbooks can be found here:
