Peggy Sue, Ham Radio Operator, of Buddy Holly fame, died today.

Does anybody know her call sign?

 

Her last name was Gerron, and she was from Lubbock, TX.

 

K5PSG

cancelled in 2016

When I look for K5PSG on QRZ I find a total different person? Robert Cornett from Albequerque NM. Can anyone explain this to me?

 

her use of the call sign K5PSG was cancelled in 2016, look at uls above

 

Thanks, W7UUU and WB70XP.
Yes, I went to the FCC site and saw it was a vanity call. I just didn't know it was possible to use a call that was someone else's first. It appears strange to me; I thought an assigned call remained unique to 1 person, even when SK.

Okay Dave, thanks for your explanation!
73,

Thanks Guys- just by chance I had queried that call sign, and a myriad of others, but no luck--guess I just assumed Peggy Sue was a ham until the end.

Not an old time ham either as her original call was fairly recent from 2004 and her name was different.

 

Looks like it expired in 2014, cancelled in 2016.
