Just finished eating dinner and was twirling around 20m when I heard a strong signal that identified himself as W5WRH Air Mobile. I listened for him to make 2 contacts before I gave my call, waiting just long enough for everyone else to finish their call in the pileup. Dan came back to me on my first call to him.

W5WRH/AM was at 30,000 feet above Cuba on his way to central Florida. He was in a 767 and booming in with a 59+ signal. He gave me a 54 report which was the same as most other stations he gave a report to in the time I listened before and after I made contact with him.

Thanks Dan for being my first air mobile contact and I’ve got a QSL card and SASE all written out already.
