[Dx-qsl] Looking for KH6IJ on Kure Island

[Larry Alkoff]

Nice story Tom.

When I took my tests in the 50's there were no questions, just copy on 
paper.

In contests, it wasn't easy to copy Katshi's call unless you were 
already familiar with his sending style which was recognizable no matter 
what.  What a superb operator.

73,
Larry
