Hi Hammies
I am going to tell a true story what happened not long ago.
Someone asked a friend to come and visit him as they talked on the cell phone many times, the friend said that the time will come to visit, as time passed, and responsibilities came first the hammie became silent key.
Surprice Surprice what the hammie had in store for his friend who never came to visit. Once upon a day a courier delivered a parcel to the friend and who accepted it and opened the parcel, to his astonishment the hammie sent his Log sheets to him.
I was contacted to help with the log sheets and perhaps the "calling were to become one day also an amateur radio operator, who knows.
The bottom line is never wait until hammies goes silent key to go and have a QSO, if you have a valid ICASA approved ham licence, pick up your radio mic and call on the radio.
Go and have that coffee with a friend and be more radioactive.............
