Best CQ ever answered?
Mine just happened on 17m: VU4BH
Martti seems to be there to do a ham demo for local representatives and is active for one *hour* only. Wow. #301 in CW for me, with the three last new ones worked within one week, all with 100W and a vertical.

A very dear friend (now SK) swore this is true:
CQ CQ CQ - Beaming The Middle East From W6xx? W6xx? here is JY1 W6xx? -- JY1 Good evening. Name here is Bill. How did you get such a fancy call sign? JY1 -- It helps when you are King!! JY1 of course was his Majesty King Hussein I of Jordan Knowing Bill -- might be urban legend -- but a good story ---------------------------------------------------------------- One of my CQ's was answered by a Hang Glider Mobile on 10M. Another from a John Deere tractor mobile plowing a Kansas field. Have both QSL cards. -- 73 From the Spurious Noise ';';;';x":.,";"' |

Wow. #301 in CW for me, with the three last new ones worked within one week, all with 100W and a vertical. That's going to be hard to beat! (congratulations, and good luck to Martti!) One Sunday, I'd been helping N4ZZ (now K4WX) with some RFI issues. We'd licked them; Don wanted to hear for himself, and to thank the neighbor for his patience. So he asked me to do some transmitting on 20 while he walked next door. Not wanting to just say "TEST TEST TEST TEST" over and over again on a crowded band, I decided to call CQ. "W9WI, this is KF6BL/T5 in Mogadishu" Almost fell out of the chair. -- Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View (Nashville), TN EM66 http://www.w9wi.com |

INFO by W3UR (DAILY DX): VU4BH was definetely a PIRATE Oh well... Peter Lemken So which was your second-best one, Peter...? :-) Last time I had a new country answer a CQ was over a decade ago and about 130 countries ago - a GJ... come to think of it, that was one of the last times I called CQ anyway.

Mine's probably not terribly exotic, but got me going.
Last month, on 20m CW long-path, on a *completely* dead band, I got a response from Christian 5X1CW. This was from my mobile setup. I e-mailed him that day to make sure someone wasn't pulling my leg :-) On 3 Oct 2003 15:13:29 GMT, (Peter Lemken) wrote: Mine just happened on 17m: VU4BH Martti seems to be there to do a ham demo for local representatives and is active for one *hour* only.

Couple of minutes later I heard "QRL?" and with good conscience I keyed "NO". He came back with "NO DE CY0NSM UR 5NN". Nice one.
