Hank,

Mike Premus was W2OY and was famous for some of his antics back in the 1950s 
and 1960s.

One of his rants was:
 "CQ 75, This is W2OY, No Lid, No Kids, No Space Kadets.  No Phony 
Phonetics, Wet Bottoms or School Bus Riders..."

> There was also something about Class A Operators Only.

Another variation was "CQ CQ CQ. No kids, no lids, no school bus riders or 
space cadets. No kings, no queens, no jacks. This is the NO PHONETICS 
station, W2OY."

I heard that hams in his town got so worked up over his antics, that 
somebody sneaked into his yard one night and drove a pin through his coax. 
Also, rumor was that he died in a fall from his tower.

Steve, K8SP
