Comments:
(excerpt from longer essay):
I want to send out huge thanks to Roger, VE1SKY. I tried to find an e-mail
address for him on the Internet was but was unsuccessful. If anyone knows him,
or his address, please pass this along to him. At about 0140Z, I started trying
to work Roger without success. Being that he was in NS, he was a popular
multiplier. Finally, he heard me, but couldnâ??t pull me out. We both
struggled and struggled. Eventually he got my call sign, then my state. I
kept spelling my name, SIERRA CHARLIE OSCAR TANGO TANGO, repeatedly, and
slowly. We were almost there when I heard him say, â??OK. I have Oscar Tango
Tango Sierra Charlie, is that your name? A few more attempts and he finally
had all of the correct info for his log at 0159. To Roger, and to all of the
folks who patiently waited twenty minutes for us to work it out, thank you. I
will be sending him a card, and will hope for one in return. It will be one
that will mean more to me than most others because it will come from a patient
saint who could have just said, â??sorry old man, I just canâ??t pull you
outâ?? (as many others have done). It will also serve as a reminder that I
too, need to be vigilant for those little voices that, like me, are in it for
fun, not adulation, and who cherish every contact.
