[OM] OT - For the hams on the list

For two months now I've been hearing PT7ZT from Brazil on 20m. Always booming in at 59, sometimes 15 over. And every time I spend an hour trying to break through the pileup, not an easy feat for a guy running barefoot into a ground-mounted vertical with (so far) insufficient radials buried, in between two buildings. Plus there is a row of 80-foot trees to the South.

Finally, last night, after 2 hours of trying, he finally came back to me. Two solid hours of calling every time he said, "QRZ?" I almost wasn't prepared when he said, "The WD9 Golf station - please go".

So, another country in the logs. And I gave him something as well - he collects counties, and doesn't have Porter County, IN yet. Now he does.

Now, I need to order some QSL cards right away...
