Just another QSO with Peter One.. |
The call was from John W1BIH, a veteran DXer.
Now some of you are probably saying, "So what?"
John is 90 years old. Last year he moved into a retirement community and while keeping his radio, he disposed of his tower, beams and linear. John was at his winter home of PJ9JT during the last two Peter One Island DXpeditions. On Thursday 09 Feb, Don N1DG picked John up and took him to his station. About thirty minutes later there was a big smile on BIH's face.
You see, that was John's last country (335 current) and he can now get back on the top of the honor roll. Oh; and by the way, Peter I was his country number 390 (including deletes)!
Congrats, John!
