W2DSC FCC License, 1955, and Renewal, 1957
From Merv N6NO:
If you are still searching for memorabilia of the old NYU Radio Club, W2DSC, I
found something that might be of interest while cleaning out my darkest
archives. It is the original FCC license that I held as trustee for the club
starting in 1955. As I recall, I was elected trustee back then because I was
the only member with an Extra Class license, which would allow full operating
privileges to guest operators who qualified.
In those days the license period was not renewed when you changed trustee, so it
looks like I took over the trusteeship on the existing license in 1955 and then
renewed it when it expired in 1957. Upon renewal it was not customary to
re-issue the license as they do today, so a renewal card was issued in 1957 and
both the original license and its renewal card had to be posted or carried by
the operator. This renewal card shows validity to 1962, but I believe I turned
over the trusteeship to someone else before its expiration. I don't think we
ever had a trustee from the faculty because they were never hams. I am
attaching a scanned JPG file of the license and renewal.
