Silver Case

Just had a 14 mhz QSO with v73rs Rob in the Kwajalein Atoll of the Marsall Islands. Had to check Google Maps to figure out where that was. Sort of halfway between here and Hawaii. Lucky I heard him before everyone else, because my signal was quite weak (44) and now everyone else is piling in 59.

Rob said he was an engineer. Curious, I googled the atoll, and found it’s part of the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site, so whatever he’s working on must be interesting.

My propagation software (DX Toolbox OSX) indicates this contact probably took four hops.
