Josh, Good afternoon. Welcome! It was a fun event to be sure. I kept getting this fellow on CW giving his callsign as TI5JON and I stubbornly replying to him: “KI5JON ?”. It turned out that he was indeed a TI station in Costa Rica and not a KI station from the US!
Don’t be a stranger and hope to see you guys in more Ham radio activities! 73, Stephen (W2WF) > On Feb 25, 2024, at 4:10 PM, J T via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org> wrote: > > Hey everyone, this is Josh.
