My First Confirmed Country
As many of you know I enjoy Amateur radio. As a short explanation you use a radio wave to contact others in far away places. It is kind of like an internet chat room but over the radio. I enjoy talking with others and seeing how far I can get my signal to go. The other day I was on seeing who I could talk to and a station right below me started to call for someone as well. So I moved down and it was a man by the name of Ken. His call sign was JO7CVU and he was in JAPAN! This is not very far and pretty easy for most people to get but I had only ever talked with someone in Japan 1 other time. We exchanged information and I sent off a card confirming our contact. He replied yesterday with his card confirming our conversation and I have included it here for you to see. It may not look like much to you but I am very proud of this contact!
