Bruce Frahm was first licensed as WNØTAS in October 1967. Shortly after upgrading to WAØTAS he often heard the exotic callsigns RAEM and UPOL 22 on 20 Meter cw during summer evening sessions at the radio . Not wanting to lose his license for communicating with these peculiar callsigns he feared might be “non-ham” stations, the inexperienced operator never answered those CQs! In 1979 Bruce signed on as radio op. aboard Windjammer Barefoot Cruises’ m/s Yankee Trader. The ten month circumnavigation visited 55 ports. Favorite activations were KØBJ/CEØ on Easter Island operating from the QTH of Fr. Dave CEØAE, VR6BJ from the QTH of Tom VR6TC and Betty VR6BC Christian, and operations from many islands in the Pacific. On a side trip Bruce visited Fr. Moran 9N1MM and made some QSOs from the famous station at the foot of the Himalayas. Dr. John, the medical doctor from the Yankee Trader circumnav was one of nineteen winterover personnel at Amundsen-Scott South Po
