[Elecraft] Craziest / most rewarding QSOs

[Lee Murrah]

In the late 1970s my wife and I came home from a party about midnight.  I decided to listen to the ham bands a bit, and I heard a call from Guyana.  I called and worked them. We later exchanged QSL cards.

Several years later while driving to work I suddenly remembered the QSO and the events that had happened since.

I rushed home and dug out the QSL card.  There is was. PEOPLES TEMPLE AGRICULTURAL PROJECT.  I had worked the station associated wit the Jim Jones settlement whose residents later committed mass suicide.

Not rewarding, but definitely crazy.
