Our own amateur radio historian, Will Rogers, K5WLR, returns with another brand new edition of "A Century Of Amateur Radio". This edition takes a look at the use of CQ, which is used as a general call for initiating a contact. This took time to become an acceptable practice in the early years. Serious operators frowned on its use, mostly because it had been used to excess in the old days among the little boys with squeak boxes, usually in exceedingly long and sparsely identified calls. This historic edition is titled "Call & Card."
