[ADXA] Guam on 80M FT8

[w5zn at w5zn.org]

I need to get my mind out of the gutter. When Pat said he had joined a
local "dive club" I immediately thought he had been hanging out in some
pretty shady bars during his Navy days, then I realized he was into
"scuba" diving!!!!   :-)))

> 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.

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".
