Saturday night, in a lull during the JARTS RTTY contest, i made a dozen contacts in the NY QSO Party. 10 contacts were on SSB/phone and 2 were on RTTY. Nothing fabulous here but it gave me something to do while I waited for some other stations to show up in the RTTY contest.

As I made contacts, if I didn’t see the station already listed in the cluster, I spotted the station.  I noticed an announcement show up a short while later on the cluster and it said:

WQ3X - K2DSL tks WB2KLD spot. Was one of my 1st QSOs back in 1964!

Russell, WQ3X, was a young teenager back in 1964 according to his profile on QRZ and had the callsign WN2QJI. Tom, WB2KLD was also a teenager. I hope they had a good reunion.
