After VJ Day in 1945, hams were given authorization to begin operating again
on the 2 1/2 meter band, on a shared basis with WERS. WERS was terminated in
mid-November. By the 15th of that month, the FCC released bands at 10, 5,
and 2 meters for amateur use. The post-war era of amateur radio had
commenced.

A further search of some 40's QSTs reveals that WERS NCS stations appear
to have 4-letter calls, such as WJUY and subordinates would be WJUY-1,
2, 10, 11, ad infinitum. These calls don't look like the one originally
posted, however.... Dunno?


Special issued calls maybe? Nothing like that in my 47 Callbook.
