I find that interesting I just worked a station that gave me 1935. It's
possible, QRZ says born 1918 My hats off to him at that age and still
contesting.
That's if I received everything correctly. Anybody else work W0KK ?

Good question.
It always bugged me that the MIT club station would use "09" as the check in
the ARRL November Sweepstakes. Like the contest you mention, it's supposed
to be the "last two digits of the first year the station was licensed" ...
since no licenses were issued until 1912 ...
So your question is a good one. The QST archive is pretty hard to search
but surely it's in there.
