I have one wall of my shack covered with QSL cards from all over the world. One particular card is from 7Q7AA in Malawi for a QSO in 1971. Many of you may have worked him. One day I just happened to pay attention to the small print at the bottom of the card. It noted the operator: B. J. "Tony" Martin W4FOA. As it turns out, Tony W4FOA whom I have known for years, is a member of our local Tennessee Valley DX Association. I knew Tony had been active from several places in Africa when he worked for the government but never associated him with that call sign. I took the card to one of our meetings and we had a great conversation about his days in 7Q7.
I sometimes forget how small this hobby often makes our world. 73, Ted W4NZ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
