With a call like yours, you may want to get on CW  ! Yup and then you can listen to your DX partner in crime take twice as long to get his call sent  |

You be the POSH man - luxury radio. Yeah, that IS a long one on CW. One of the longest I've heard for voice is held by a DX buddy of mine, Woody, WW1WW. It was a requested vanity call. "W" is the only letter in the alphabet with more than one syllable. His call contains 13 syllables. K4HX, K1JJ, etc contain 4. Takes less than 1/3 the time to say. Though "W" is unmistakable because of it's time duration. I wonder if Woody is doing self-imposed penace/karma for some ham misdeed?  T |

I couldn't contain myself. Listen to this video from 3:00 to 4:05 (time) and pretend you're the newscaster trying to keep a straight face as you watch the video. I'm dying.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sap2hfA-pHg&feature=relatedT |

Oh yeah? I heard a good reason tonight on 40M. I was working a Euro pileup on 7137 and a weak RG8U came back. I thought it might be a new Russian call until he said his name was "Belden." The HOAXman was at it again... T |
