Anyone have a WPE Call Sign?

[W8MSD]

WPE8JYC, issued in 1968, followed up by my novice ticket WN8DSZ.

Wow, it has been awhile.

WPE2MDG   now KD2BVQ

I recieved WPE7BJZ in the early 60's and still have my certificate. It seemed almost like a "real" call sign until I got my Novice license a few months later (KN7VZH, now K7LJ).

[WA7SQD]

Sure do and if I looked hard enough, I could probably find the PE certificate.

Why I can remember "WPE7BHW" to this day, I don't know.

Wow! A trip down memory lane! WPE1EJL has been K1FPV now for nearly 50 years!

Wow, I'm an old Fa#$ !!!

Wow - memories! I was WPE5ACB in about 1960/1961 in LA. In December, I will have been a ham for 50 years!

  I remember way back in the day (1960s), Popular Electronics magazine issued WPE call signs to readers who were SWLs.  Did anyone else get (or still remember) them?

I am WPE2LXA.

I found three pages related to WPE call signs on HF Underground:

Good idea. Why doesn't someone just link to a complete list of WPE calls so we can move on to something actually...interesting.
