      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. ;-)<br>

      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.<br>
