[Mich VHF UHF Society] NE8I as Mich VHF UHF Society club callsign?

[Tom]

Whats really nice about being put on ignore with AT&T at work is how 
much stuff I can get done on the Internet.

Between the FCC ULS and QRZ, it looks like AD8U was used as a vanity 
call by Richard L Johnson, but he switched over to W8YV as his preferred 
call in 1998. His QRZ page confirms this. So from what I can tell, AD8U 
is not a silent keys call.

BTW, it looks like the history of the MIVUS call is KC8ZLH in April of 
2014, to W8PHJ to AD8U. I don't think W8PHJ is a past persons call either.

If any of the original folks who started MIVUS are on this list, I would 
like to talk to you on the phone and maybe exchange some email info. I 
would love to put the history of the group on the web site. Particularly 
if there were any early newsletters or minutes, or anything from the 
past. We have to preserve that.

But Roger, from what I can tell, the AD8U was a chosen vanity call, but 
not after any one person.
