Just like during World War 1, Amateur Radio was shut down during World War 2. So this was a short decade.
Envelope -- with the postmark date of November 25, 1947 -- from the FCC to SCCARA's Station Trustee.The contents are missing, but the date and the fact that it's to our Trustee strongly suggests it had to do with SCCARA's club license and our reactivation after World War 2. SCCARA lost its W6SV call sign during that hiatus. We got our new call sign, W6UW, around that time. It was first listed in the Callbook in 1948.
A couple of QSL cards to SCCARA. These were from Field Day June 1949. Both indicate our new call sign W6UW.
SCCARA was an exhibitor of Amateur Radio in the second annual and fifth annual Santa Clara County Fair, Sept. 17-22, 1946, and Sept. 12-18, 1949.
