[SOC] 20 FEET

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

They also clapped when I kissed my Japanese girlfriend in the other room
behind the paper room dividers.

They called me "Mount Fuji" for some reason after that.

She had a really sweet fist.  She certainly was not one of the NO-CODERs.
She worked at Chosi Japan Radio, callsign JCS.  They have to know JA Morse
as well as International Morse there.

We had thick green tea to drink, no sake she said.
