Funny story but true...
Back when I was a Tech+, I had a RS 10M rig and a 10M rotatable dipole up about 20 feet. I worked no telling how many Japan stations in the evening greyline. I received quite a few cards from the ops.
The would always say "My name Skip...Skip!"
And the cards had their real name, and somewhere in the middle of the real name appeared "Skip".
I guess it was a throwback to the old CB days where people would call "Skip land, Skip land, Skip land!"
