EA8ALD, Jose Miguel Beby Garcia. 22 November, 04:00z. He came back to my CQ, which is sort of unusual--DX stations rarely answer a CQ from Six Land--and was what made me wonder. I'm not saying categorically that it was a fake, only that I found the entire thing rather...different than any other DX contact I've ever made before.Quote:

He kept telling breakers to fuck off because he was talking to me, yes actually talking, not the 5/9 pse qso bullshit.
Damn. That was 1990.
Yeah, Mike. Russia is probably 146.52 contact range for you:giggity::bbh:Quote:
