searching for a radio amateur

Post by JohnnyG »

Hi All,
Looking for a amateur who was in the military with me in 1964.Did a search for him,but he is not in the current database.What I was hoping to find someone who has a callbook for 1964 to 1975 or...... I would like to get his address,and maybe get his middle name.there are alot of that name out there,so it is hard to search.

His name is Richard Crabb,his call was WA5IAJ


Thank You John Bauman K3MHJ

John,

Just for fun, I looked in the oldest Callbook I have, a 1977 edition. No entry for Richard Crabb, WA5IAJ, in that edition.

Looking up the name "Crabb" on QRZ.com there is a "Richard Crabb" listed with a KC5xxx call (don't recall the callsign suffix). It is possible that the individual you are looking for had let his WA5 call lapse only to return to the hobby 25+ years later.

John:

Checked the FCC database (ALL broadcast licenses). WA5IAJ not listed, even as canceled or expired.

I'll try the database for "Richard Crabb" in the next few days.

John:

I tried searching the FCC database for a license holder named "Richard Crabb".
I kept getting "NO HITS".

Heck, even though the FCC has provision for searching by licensee by name, I couldn't even find myself. Although, searching by callsign, I could find myself!!!

Oh well!
