But neither of these is how it started.

I fired 120 rounds late today in the wad gun and had no light strikes.

In the previous sections, we eavesdropped on a live conversation between two ham stations, one in Windsor Ontario and the other in Venezuela on the northern coast of South America. And I mentioned that while you’ll find hams of all ages working the bands at all hours of day or night, it’s also true that the majority of them tend to be older gentlemen.

In the first part of this post, we had a quick look at a conversation taking place between ham radio stations in Ontario Canada and Venezuela where I just happened to be in the right place, Phoenix Arizona, to “hear” both of them.

I’m running my ham radio that uses the computer to do a lot of the work.

I think I’ve got it!

Or rather I should say that I think Don Plante figured it out.
