Cool. Is Okinawa a JA posession like Guam or Saipan is a W6
posession?

You ignored the phrase "...according to Lennie".

Len posts here. If he thought I needed that information, he
would
have
given it to me.

But he did...Right there where he tried to make us think
Okinawa
was NOT a "real" part of Japan.

Is Northern Ireland a real part of Ireland?

I assume you were trying to make some point here?

Okinawa is a prefecture of Japan...a "state", just like
Hawaii,
Rhode Island, or Texas is to us.

Prefecture. There are awards for working those.

A-yup.

They are very much a part of Japan,
CONTRARY to what Lennie would have other believe.

What others?

You...Me...Anyone who happens to read through here...

I can make up my own mind about Okinawa.

Funny...You seem to need Lennie's guidance on just about
everything else...That collar starting to get a bit tight?

"Sayonara" is completely appropriate.

And "putz" is not.

Absolutely not.

So why do you use it so often here?

Because (A) this is not "on the air" and (B) in refrence to
Lennie, it is completely appropriate.

Nor would I use it one the air.

You are the shining star in hamdom.

Nope...Just another one of the gang...Just like you.

I had a blast from Okinawa in 81...But the "new" sequential
callsign system was still new in the States, and a lot of folks
seem
to
skip by the "KA6" calls...UNTIL, that is, that we got wise and
started
signing /JR6. Then the pile-ups started! I was KA6CM on Oki.

Yep. Tried field day from Guam. The USA hams in the test had no
idea
what a /KH2 was.

None did? Not a one? I sure would have.
