[ADXA] 3Y0I RUMOR

Tue Mar 19 09:22:28 EDT 2019

Hey San, I checked my logs and see I worked you at HK0NA, A35YY, ZK2YY and
5W1CS. Thanks!  Based on your QRZ page I missed a bunch of great ones in
the 70s, but I wasn't chasing DX back then.

73-

Nick, WA5BDU

"*My wife almost divorced me after 4 trips I took for 4-5 weeks each time
in the 70s and 80s. The kids wondered who I was when I returned; the 'guy'
she almost divorced. Married 55 years now, so did something right. Hmmm.
Maybe she did want me to go away a while???*

*San"*
