W3AA is the club station of the Phil-Mont Mobile Radio Club (est. 
1949). 

I'm a member of both the club and the museum, and when I was but a 
sprout that club station, beautifully constructed as a participatory 
museum exhibit, was instrumental in stimulating my interest in amateur 
radio. 

W3AA today:

 While W3WF and N3OOV both appear on the club roster under the name 
"Charlie", I suspect you worked Charlye, K3CJ. I'm CCing him on this 
note. 

Charlye, was it you who worked KE4AZN via FO-20 from W3AA?
