[bars] Notable contact

[TimC]

I had a contest contact with Cal, the DX Commander himself.  I didn't 
recognize the call at first until I heard his voice -- it is rather 
distinctive.  It being a contest all I was able to manage was 'Thanks 
Cal!' and moved on to the next QSO.  He posted a YouTube video of it and 
I was able to find myself. ;-)

Also, when the club went to visit ARRL HQ and I took my turn operating 
W1AW I worked Michael, KB9VBR on one of his many POTA activations.  
Sadly, no YT video of this one.
