[CW] THE NYMPH AND THE LAMP

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

I think Handsome Boy has it.  Did I ever tell you that the Indonesian radio
officers would call each other on 600 meters by signaling POGI POGI de PARE
PARE - which means something like "handsome boy" this is "buddy boy".

There is a page about the POGI and PARE calling  here:

K0HB - of course it's his initials but rumor has it that his wife calls him
HB for handsome boy.
