This is actually about my poor skills as a 'phone op.  I little while ago I
wrote about logging the call suffix "Bravo Kilowatt Germany" as "BKJ" --
Jermany, right? (Probably on 3830scores.com)

Well, here's a traffic report from the web site of a local "all news" radio
station, on a problem in the Virginia suburbs of DC:

"US-50/Fairfax Blvd eastbound near Jermantown Rd, all lanes blocked...."

I checked, and it really is Jermantown Road.  And it goes nowhere near
Germantown, VA.

So maybe my QSO should correct his call to BKJ.

73 and CU SS CW,
