Sponsored by The Fayetteville Woodpeckers CityViewNC .com | 17 Ou r School R ad io St at ion In the center of our school building, the radio club, of which I was president for three years, had an amateur radio station whose call letters were W4MQW. Several years aer I graduated from Fayetteville High School, the name was changed to Terry Sanford High School in honor of the late Terry Sanford who was once governor of North Carolina. Although the name has changed, the school colors are still blue and white, and their football team is still known as the "Bulldogs." If you have ever been a student at either Fayetteville High School or at Terry Sanford High School, I am sure you are proud to have been a member of one of the finest schools in the state of North Carolina. Mr. White oŽen invited club members to visit him in his home where he had his own amateur radio station. We were thrilled when he allowed us to talk to other stations as far away as Australia through his shortwave radio transmitter. Our radio club was sponsored by V. R.
