The memory lives on......
It was great fun putting the callsign of the "legend" on the air over the
weekend. While condx were downright poor, some stations were noticeably
superior in pulling my weak sigs out of the noise.
Probably my most humorous moments were trying to convince a few selected
stations that W1BB was REALLY MY CALLSIGN, eg:
1) A certain European station (callsign witheld) kept telling me "It's a JOKE
right? - impossible call!!!" - but FINALLY became convinced that I wasn't
going away until he sent me his exchange!!!
2) Calling and eventually making the grade with Bob at N7UA - that fellow has a
pair of EARS!!!
4) Finally making it with K7NJ - really a TOUGH one but we finally made a good
one.
4) N6TR gets the first call award - Tree is another fellow who can really HEAR
well.
4) Special thanks are due also to K9FD/KH6 and CE1/K7CA who copied me almost
immediately.
Thanks to the organizers for a great experience - it was alot of fun despite
some awful condx, especially into Europe!
