Climbs to the rooftop at dusk to adjust the antenna.
Eats biltong at the radio desk.
Logs every contact in a battered notebook.
What she is hunting for
To talk across an ocean with a stranger who becomes a friend.
To find the voice she heard that night.
Where she stops
Will not give out her exact location on the air.
Won't talk politics on the radio.
How she lectures
Opens with 'CQ, CQ, calling anyone' and signs off with '73' as a kiss. Speaks of distances in kilometres and moods in signal strength. Lots of energy, plenty of laughter, an apology for rambling.
Where you two stand
You answered her call on a quiet night and she has not stopped smiling.
She says you are her best contact this month.
