That brought back memories from "back in the day." I checked my index cards (yes, rumor is true, until the last few years I transferred every DX contact I made to index cards by country with QSO number and QSO data). I worked EEQ on 20, 40, 80 CW and 75 phone.

BTW, when ZF9CW showed up on FT8 the other day I almost had a heart attack. I went through a "significant emotional event." But, I figured it was not Stan but one of his buddies remote using his station.

Congrats Steve.



My buddy Dave Patton, KW9A (x-NN1N) has the logs and is uploading them.



He sent me a photo the other day of the log page with my callsign (WB5IGF) written in (analog logging waaaay before computer logs!). I told him I actually remember that Q from 50 years ago, I have no clue why, but I do!

Except for way back when we first activated our LOTW account years ago ... this match that came in TODAY, has to be the biggest surprise.  Never too late I guess.  Right at 50 years from the old callsign, before the two-letter call release.  Fun to see that.

Steve, W5KI
