Hi Wes
I LOVE hearing of rare incidents like that! I was talking with an OM one night about 10 years ago, he was out in the Denver area, I don't remember off hand which band we were on, but in the background he had a 2 meter rig tuned to his local repeater. It was quiet, no traffic while I was talking with him at all. Then suddenly, as plain as day we heard a voice on the repeater come in about mid sentence of a Triple A towtruck driver talking to a stranded motorist, as the driver read back the license plate for verification, it was this fellows own car tags, so we paused our conversation so he could listen to the call, which must have been intermod of some type. He was gone for a short while, but when he came back to the radio, he said, darnest thing, my car is in the garage! It was bugging him to no end, so he paused again to call Triple A. I hung around for about a half hour waiting for him and was just ready to call it quits when he gave me a call. That tags were from an adjoining state, but the irony of the whole thing was, both registered owners had near identical names. Not spelled the same, but close enough that they could be mistaken for each other when spoken orally. Dow Einsteen and Bo Weinstein or something close to those combinations. I bumped into him on the same band about 3 months later and he was still talking about it! TTUL Gary |
