Ha, ha! Yes, it would have been "Whisky Six Quebec Alpha Sierra".
It was in the early 70's that I finally got my Extra Class license and, when
the 2X1 calls were announced, I was among the first in line for one.
Bob Wolbert picked up on that too. So assuming many others did, I'll put
this on the reflector
How time flies!!

Uh, Ron, the A-series calls and the 2X1 calls weren't put into
service until the mid-1970s. I was at the Pacificon hamfest in
Santa Cruz when A. Prose Walker, the then-Division Chief (forgot
his call sign) announced the new formats.
