You never know, Carl.
I worked ZS3E (Now V51E) on 10 meters calling CQ from DVC (Diablo Valley College). The guy was way cool. Spent the whole qso complaining about having to change his callsign the next day because Namibia was going to be independent. I talked to the guy for a long time. 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.
