DX in the Novice bands? I’ll bet many of you have DS7SV in those old logs. He
spent massive amounts of time giving Novices their 1st serious DX Q’s. QSL card
had a nice green background with his calling in a white/cream script font
across the face. Great and very patient op.
Those were the days.

I too often heard that K5BIJ call on the air.
I also heard and called that K7HFX guy from CZ - was that Central Arizona?

Writing up my 3830scores report for Sprint CW, I reminded myself of this story.
In the mid-1960s, in a CW CD Party, on 40M I was called by "K5BIJ". I sent him
my report, but it took Katashe several tries for me to get his call correctly.
I was astounded. Back then I didn't know it was possible to work Hawaii on 40M
from Maryland.
My antenna was a dipole. Pretty sure rcvr was my RME-4350 (maybe the "A"
version), and that I had already upgraded the xmtr from the BC-459 to a
second-hand Viking Ranger.
