[ADXA] Guam on 80M FT8

[patw5vy at gmail.com]

Nice catch Lanny. Your fan dipole is working well.   I was stationed at the
Naval Communication Station on Guam in '70-71.  I joined a local dive club,
Marianas Divers, and got my air from a shop in Agana.  My buddy and I went
diving almost every day.  Flash forward to 2011.  I worked Ed, KH2L, on 80CW
one morning and he had a really big S9+ signal.  I though someone was
messing with his call and sent him an email.  After a few email "overs" we
determined that he was the "Ed" that had filled my tanks for me years
earlier.  

 

While on Guam, I had a "small world" incident at a Marianas Divers dive
party/lunch.  A lady named Patty Jo Hoff, a Professor at Univ or Guam,
hosted  the party at her home on the west coast of the island.  She asked
where I was from on the "mainland".  I told her Arkansas.  She asked where
in Arkansas.  I said a farm near Houston.  She asked if I had a sister named
Frances?  I replied yes I do.  Turns out Patty Jo was my sister's roommate
at Hendrix and had been to our house several times.  I would have only been
6-7 years old at the time.  I sent my sis a letter saying "you'll never
guess who I had lunch with".

 

73,

Pat
