[ADXA] V84SAA Brunei

San - I had forgot that Brunei was once a upon a time VS5 until you mentioned it!! My first ever Brunei was  VS5MC on 20 meters way back yonder sometime in the 70’s.

It was VS5 back then, and I made about 5000 QSOs from there and concentrated on 80m at night where I made about 800 QSOs and also worked a few on 160m in the Asia area using a long wire antenna 25 feet off the ground. Met the Sultan one evening at a party and stayed with VS5HG Hassan for 7 days. Attended the first organized meeting of the first VS5 Ham Radio Club the second weekend. Think there were 6 in attendance. Fun time for me and with so  many memories.
