Those days were unforgettable!
I can remember far stations from Europe, such as the antarctic station 8J1RF, VK6XH, VK5DG, XE1MEX, VU2RM, etc., or speaking with Joe K5OE from which I have learnt a lot building the TPMs antennas.
But which I can forgotten is getting up very early to work the AOS. I still keep several contacts in SSTV mode with japanesse stations 7N1JVW, JH2ESW, JA5CU/1, etc. By the way, they were more polite than european stations in HF.
