There are 5 American Hams coming and two from Norway - between Oct and Nov.<br /><br />May be I can send a car to get him up to Thimphu so these guys can meet him :) What do you say?<br /><br />ThanksYeshey Dorjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414546232976648883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174281725329221330.post-90397252248942641382011-09-07T14:17:42.782+06:002011-09-07T14:17:42.782+06:00Aha now I got it.

I mean that was back in the days when I was all young and preppy with too much time in my hand. However, that is an amazing story. Too bad the French couldnt meet him. I might have met him or not. But I will keep my ears and eyes open.Thanks for sharing. :)MY WORLD, MY READS, MY THOUGHTS FOR A cheltrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02123111200679899426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174281725329221330.post-72588362885640430822011-09-07T10:18:59.371+06:002011-09-07T10:18:59.371+06:00Haha ... yea .. Ham radio. A5 country is Bhutan. Q...Haha ... yea .. Ham radio. A5 country is Bhutan. QSO is a kind of acknowledgement of a call, a conversation that has taken place between two Hams. Bhutan officially recieved our country code: A5 in early 70's and during that time, H N Pradhan was a civil wireless operator based in Phuentsholing. He went on air as an officially authorised amateur. However, I still am of the openion that the call he took is not acceptable since there was no designated authority who could have issued internationally accepted CallSign. Also, there are certain formalities that need to be met before a call and a licence is issued. I get the feeling that Mr. H N Pradhan does not have that licence.<br /><br />However, internationally, he is recognized as one of the earliest and rarest Hams from Bhutan.<br /><br />In fact two years back, a French Ham expedition wanted to meet him and travelled to all the way to Phuentsholing but for some reason the meeting did not take place.Yeshey Dorjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414546232976648883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174281725329221330.post-72768259491588468992011-09-06T21:23:16.835+06:002011-09-06T21:23:16.835+06:00A5 countries?

It has been such a long time ago.<br /><br />Talking of stories, I know of one that you are provably unaware of. His name is Mr. H N Pradhan and he apparently has a house close to the RBP gate. I have never met him but I know quite a bit about him. There are a number of people around the world who would love to meet him and shake his hand. The reason is that he is known around the world as the second person from A5 country who has entered into their log books - an extremely rare QSO from a rare destination.Yeshey Dorjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414546232976648883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174281725329221330.post-82620714496083346012011-09-06T09:55:14.635+06:002011-09-06T09:55:14.635+06:00Have u ever been to Samtse??
