Interesting thread. I worked a ham set doing phone patch work while in the Military. Way back before cell phones and sat communications allowed Members and their families to chat. My hat is off to all the old timers that using their own money and equipment allowed us to keep in touch. Call sign I worked under was a club call. VE8RCS.... While not doing phone patch we did QSL with a lot of Hams all over the world. Anyone know where I was at or get a card from there?
