Pete found information for me on a hamfirst licensed in 1914 Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I needed information on a callsign which had appeared in an old electronics magazine. Pete got me just what I was looking for, in spite of the fact that I made a mistake and did not give him the correct callsign. Pete gave me the correct callsign with the address and timespan over which the call had been held - just the information I had been looking for. An excellent piece of detective work. Many thanks to Pete!

Pete has helped me a number of times (see my earlier reviews below). This time, i was looking for information on a Ham named Charley Reynolds who I knew had been licensed before 1922. Pete found that Cbuilt harley had been first licensed in 1914 at the age of 14 with the call "8OP"
Pete then found several other calls that Charley had held over the years. All of this information is really helpful background for an article I am writing for Electric Radio magazine on a mid-twenties superhet receiver that Charley had built at that time and which I now have.
Pete's help has been key to my filling in information on Charley, which will improve my article. Many thanks Pete!

I was looking for information on a call printed on the front of a transmitter I am writing a magazine article. Pete got the name and address of the owner who had held it for only one year(1956) while living in Wisconsin. He then located the guy, now living in Florida, and had talked to him via the phone. Pete gave me the number and I talked with him too. Turned out that the call had been reissued in the sixties for 5 years, then lapsed. Pete found that guy too! World class research - nobody else can provide this service, which will add historical depth to my story of the transmitter. Thanks Pete!

Grateful for Pete's Authentication Service Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Thank you again for your help to provide a smooth experience when I was tested last month. I could hear the VEs going through your comprehensive notes while I was taking the Technician portion of the test. They later expressed their appreciation for the thoroughness of your enclosed documentation. I believe it was educational for them as well and will perhaps help others like me.

Based on your authentication work, I then went on to complete the Extra Class portion and was able to obtain the license I now enjoy.

Thank you for you encouragement and counsel.

Kind regards, — Will AI5QT

Amazing Research Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I have a vanity call. WBØAL just sounds like a call that would go back to antiquity. I contacted Pete and discovered that it is original with me. I expected to see half dozen names. Quite a shock. Pete does amazing work and I will no doubt contact him in the future.

PeteTheGreek not only provides an amazing service, he also upholds the amateur radio art. As a new Technician, I have been eagerly learning about the application, technology, and history of amateur radio. The knowledge I received has become foundational to my understanding of my place in the history of the amateur radio art.

A Unique Service to Amateur Radio Enthusiasts Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Pete the Greek, NL7XM, is a real blessing. He found the date of the beginning of my Ham Radio journey when I could not find it anywhere else. This is a unique, amazing and very helpful service. I highly recommend it.

Wonderful!!! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I asked Pete to see if he could dig up the call sign of the fellow to administered my novice test 57 years ago. Pete not only got me the info that I wanted, he dug deeper and added even more info to my report. I can’t say enough about the service that Pete provides. All of this research is done on the honor system as well. An amazing service provided by a true ham!!! Do not hesitate to use Pete’s service.

Vast callsign research information Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I found a newspaper clipping about a callsign my great grandpa allegedly owned. I cleaned a lot of info from using this research option, and determined my great grandpa was a bootlegger who didn't own the callsign he claimed in the newspaper article.

Thanks, Pete! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Pete is such a valuable asset for amateur radio. He provided solid documentation of my advanced-class license that expired 50 years ago, which recently allowed for me to get credit for exam element 3. And just yesterday I was assigned back my original call sign from those long-ago days.

Thanks, Pete!

(and his fee is very modest - don't be shy about slipping a few extra bucks into your payment)
