In the early nineties I got a pile of old CQ-QSO hamradio magazines from ON7ZE (SK).
In the SWL section there was a guy that won contest after contest, year after year. Het got the SWL call ONL-383
Today, ONL-383 is known as ON3ND. His call may not be familiar to you but his QRP staion is logged by many DXpeditions.
Jean-Jacques or "JJ" for the friends is an operator that not only watches the DXluster, he also uses the big knop in the middle of his tranceiver.
This allows him and his little pistol station to log DX before they appear on the cluster.
I've been on a few IOTA trips, sometimes making less then 500 Qs, but JJ managed to work me every time, often several times and always in CW.
I never met JJ but I'm curious to know why he waited a few decades to apply for a license.
Keep up the good work "JJ", you're a damn good operator.
