If you have noodled around the hf ham bands; you already know the chances of connecting with someone you haven’t spoken to in decades are remote. This isn’t to say it doesn’t happen...it does!

This is the story of two American airmen who served together in Korea in the 70s, later left the Air Force, went their own ways; and were reunited by chance 26 years later on ham radio in December, 2001. Former RAIN reader Rick Johnson, KD9VZD tells the story.
