This is a list of the "Notable" Amateur Radio Callsigns that have been gathered. You might meet them someday if you are a HAM! (of course except Silent Key). I make no claims as to the absolute accuracy of this information, gleaned from several sources. Any updates would be appreciated. Please send additions, amplifications, and corrections to sadaqa@hotmail.com.
