Writing up my 3830scores report for Sprint CW, I reminded myself of this
story.
In the mid-1960s, in a CW CD Party, on 40M I was called by "K5BIJ". I sent
him my report, but it took Katashe several tries for me to get his call
correctly. I was astounded. Back then I didn't know it was possible to
work Hawaii on 40M from Maryland.
My antenna was a dipole. Pretty sure rcvr was my RME-4350 (maybe the "A"
version), and that I had already upgraded the xmtr from the BC-459 to a
second-hand Viking Ranger.
