I finally worked 3DA0AQ an hour ago.  Went to QRZ bio and discovered:

Active as HAM since the sixties as PA0HVK , often mobile on short wave and two meter, moved to Swaziland in 1981 as 3D6BF. This callsign was changed to 3DA0AQ in 1988 by the I.T.U..

I am a retired transmitter engineer with Trans World Radio- Swaziland. Sporadically I liked using their curtain-antenna when not in use, to gain better insight in propagation using the old Swan 350

I lived in Cary, NC from 1999 until I retired to Searcy in April 2019.  Trans World Radio is headquartered up the hill behind Hendrick Auto Group’s Cary complex were I worked for 22 years.  One day I picked up lunch at the nearby Wendy’s and saw a customer reading QST!  It was W0LD, Lauren Libby, President and CEO of TWR.  I introduced myself and we had a great chat.  I arranged for him to put on a program for our club, the Raleigh Amateur Radio Society (rars.org) on TWR: a great Power Point presentation of their high power hf facilities worldwide and his take on the future of ham radio.
