I worked W1HIS this week as well. I turned the radio on during lunch at my high school. I tuned down well into the Extra band and heard him calling CQ. I hate to leave a CQ hanging, so I replied with K5LBJ, our school call. As it turns out, Chuck was operating from a 1st grade class in Boston. How neat for his class to reach another school! I spoke with six students about various things and had a delightful time. I also learned that Chuck is a professor at MIT. I'm sure those kids didn't know (or care) what he did for a living, but maybe they enjoyed their time on the radio. I certainly enjoyed our QSO and will send six cards for the students. What a thrill, perhaps, to be greeted as a second grader with a card from 1700 miles away. By the way, I always think of you when I see a callsign that makes a word. My personal favorite that we have on the wall at school is a guy with UFO in his call. Have another with LSD, too. Take care and good DX. Ronny, KC5EES It is a small world.
