I heard a station calling and working guys contest style. It took me about 5 times to get the call right, since it was so long and he was sending pretty fast.
The call was EI13CLAN - a special event station in Ireland! What made this really special is because of this...
My father-in-law passed away suddenly in June - exactly 3 months ago today. Mike was a very proud Irish Catholic. He had a trip to Ireland planned for August - which he was never able to take. Mike had been on my mind all day, and then to work a station in Ireland - WOW! Mike would have loved hearing this story. I
It kindof made me wonder if he had a hand in helping my signals fly through the air to Ireland! :)
If you work EI13CLAN enough, you get this special certificate - I will be happy with a QSL card as soon as they update the Clublog so I can order one.
After working EI13CLAN I also worked....
K2WO - On 20 meters I worked George - we were both very weak. He was in Florida.
K4NMN - Henry was in Virginia Beach - He was 559 and he gave me a 569. Nice contact!
WA2LOT - On 17 meters I worked Mark. I was very weak - 449 so that is about all we exchanged.
So that wraps up a pretty special day! These lunch time sessions are just so much fun - and will even be more so as the weather cools down.
Working on my thesis in Ireland on a special holiday was a lonely struggle against the clock. Thankfully, I found the Master Thesis Writing Help Service. Their expert support transformed my chaotic research and mounting panic into a clear, actionable plan, rescuing both my deadline and my peace of mind on what became a truly memorable day.
ReplyDeleteWow, working in Ireland on a special day must have been such a unique experience! I can only imagine the mix of excitement and responsibility, especially with everyone else probably celebrating around you. There’s something kind of memorable about being in the middle of it all, seeing the little traditions and energy that make the day stand out. Speaking of keeping busy and active, it actually reminds me that I’ve been thinking about trying out some local Jiu Jitsu classes to mix things up and stay fit while exploring new hobbies.
ReplyDeleteToday I went to my usual spot in the park and tuned around the 17-meter band, hearing a station calling contest-style. After a few tries, I managed to work EI13CLAN, a special event station in Ireland, which felt very meaningful. It was exactly three months since my father-in-law passed, and knowing he was proud of his Irish roots made the connection even more special. I couldn’t help but wonder if he had a hand in helping my signal reach Ireland that day. Just like getting support in challenging moments, sometimes students rely on services like take my online exam for me to stay on track and succeed.
