As this trip was the same trip as the last year to visit Korean ham radio friends, there are some ham radio languages which can not be understood by non-ham readers. They look like secret codes but they are not. They are all official telegraphic codes used by all radio operators including commercial radio operators too. There are two kinds of codes - one is telegraphic codes (abbreviations) and Q-codes, both just to make telegraphic transmissions shorter and easier. Here are a few of them used very frequently by ham radio operators.

YL - Young Lady (This does not mean by age. All women are YLs. There is no code of OL=Old Lady. Why? ask to ladies)
XYL = ex-YL. Previously YL Now "Wife".
OM = Old Man (Not old men by age, but by ham radio experience. This is also used as Mr. to all men.)
YM/YB = Young Man/Young Boy (Again. Not by age, but by experience. there could be 80 years old YB and 20 Years old OM)
73 = Good bye to Men.  88 = Good bye to women. (Sources of origin - unknown)
hi hi = pronounced "hai hai". Laughing or smiling.

QSO = Contact/Talking,  QSY=Move,  QTH=Location/Address, QRV=Ready,  QRT=Stop/Discontinue, QRX=Wait etc. etc.

VA/VE = Canada,         A, N, W = U.S.A. (Such as AD6XI, NB2O. KE6AJ etc,)

In addition to these codes, there are call signs. All radio stations, any kind, in the world has own call sign which are same as names.
Just as HLKA, HLKB for Korean broadcasting stations, JOAK, JOBK for Japanese broadcasting stations.
The first one or two letters represent the nationality. HL, DS, 6K represent Korea. W. K. AA-AL represent U.S.A. JA-JS = Japan.
Only ham radio station has one number after these nationality codes, usually representing more detailed location.
HL1 = Seoul, HL5 = Kyungsang Province.  W1=Northeastern states of U.S.A. such as NH, RI etc. AA4=Florida, K6=California
One, 2 or 3 letters after these numbers are called suffix and represents each individual stations.
KE6AJ : KE =U.S.A.    KE6 = California   KE6AJ = My ham radio Station. There is no any other radio station with KE6AJ in the world.
Therefore, we use this call sign instead of his/her name. There could be same names for another persons but no same call sign in the world.

A few prefixes (Nationality codes) : HL/DS/6K = Korea,    W/K/AA-AL = U.S.A.   VA/VE = Canada    JA-JS = Japan
HM was the prefix of Korea earlier but it represents North Korea now.

We started the day from Albany, NY at 09:00 AM and moved around Boston, MA. We went to Quincy Market of Boston to visit Durgin Park restaurant where I visit whenever I go to Boston area. This is not a park but a Lobster restaurant established in 1826 with more than 100 years of history. The menu says  - Your Grandfather, and perhaps your great grandfather, dined with us too. This is not a high class restaurant but expensive as high class restaurant and they don't take reservation. Just First Come First Serve.

After delicious lobster lunch at Durgin Park, we drove about 30 miles to north to visit NIBDY Young's grave - HM1AM's younger sister and HM1AB's ex-XYL. She once worked in KARL office in Korea to assist my work for KARL, met HM1AB there and married. I have really loved her but she passed away early due to lime disease last year.

We met AD1AD 2 years ago for the first time but could not see him last year because his XYL was sick and had a surgery in the hospital. She is fully recovered now, but could not join us because AD1AD's parents are visiting them now. Congratulations for full recovery !!

Today, we left Milford Hotel at 07:13 AM, very early, to visit ARRL (American Radio Relay League = American Ham Radio Club) on the way to New York. I have wanted to visit ARRL once since long time ago and finally made it this time. ARRL HQ is open to every visitors and a volunteer will guide you if you arrive there by 09:00 AM or 13:00 PM of any working days. We arrived at 08:45 AM and we were only visitors today. However, volunteer W1CNI OM took us and guided whole facility very kindly.

The first place introduced was wall of the main building where many old contributors for ham radio and ARRL. It was so different from KARL where they ignore my contribution for 17 years in early KARL history. It seems there is no stupid leader like KARL leader in ARRL. It was very natural, of course, but impressive.

He introduced various places thereafter where all kinds of radio equipments from old radio equipment to the latest satellite radio equipment. The call sign of the club station W1AW was the call sign of the personal ham radio station of Hiram Maxim OM who has founded ARRL. W1AW has occupied one full building and huge 3 antenna towers were quite a commercial class, rather than ham radio antennas. Any ham operator would be allowed to operate this W1AW station if he or she wants to operate it.

We arrived HM1AM's cousin's home in Fort Lee through very heavy traffic of Manhattan and passing the George Washington Bridge at 14:34 PM. We will stay here for next 5 days to meet ham friends in New York area.

Today was the day to visit the "master" of Korean hams in New York area - NB2O. We wanted to be there at lunch hour but could not guess how long it would take to get there. We left Fort Lee at 11:10 AM and it took only 35 min.. We arrived at 11:30 AM but there were two similar buildings which confused me which one is the building NB2O is because we were there only once last year. I drove far a way from the building and could find the antenna of NB2O which identified which building to visit. hi hi

Today was the Saturday holiday but NB2O couple were waiting for us. We were very welcome by them and NB2O was talking with VE3HLM/ex-HM1AX and KF0BI OMs at 7MHz band. Both stations were coming in with very strong signals and AA2BA/ex-HM1BA OM joined little later to the QSO. After the QSO, NB2O exchanged my D-Star Bluestack with his Bluestack as the power cable of mine had poor contact. Now, it is working fine. MNI THX NB2O OM!!

Just as the last year, we had a lunch already prepared in the office by his XYL kindly and talked all kind of subjects - from old story to latest news. There was not enough time and we went to his favorite Korean restaurant "Tang" and continued to talk. After the dinner, we finally said 88/73 to them and returned to Fort Lee. We were supposed to visit AA2BA/ex-HM1BA tomorrow and NB2O was invited to join which he accepted. we will meet again tomorrow.

Today is the 2nd. day in New York and we visited AA2BA/ex-HM1BA. He lives at the northern tip of New Jersey state and the road to his house was just like a mountain road with very tall trees on both sides of the road. we were very close friends in Korea too and met both couple every time we have visited New York area. This was the first time to visit his QTH. After arrival, I found his backyard is very wide surrounded by very tall trees - higher than 50 ft mostly. It was right place for high antenna tower but he was satisfied with low wooden tower he made and had no intention to install high steel tower.

Therefore, HM1AX in Ottawa had to relay his message to us. AA2BA make scheduled QSOs with these NB2O, HM1AX and KF0BI mostly.

We have enjoyed talking until 17:00 PM and went to nearby Korean restaurant for dinner together. I wonder it was intentional to make it interesting or they were too stupid, but the name of the restaurant "Hamheung" was "Hamung" in Korean and "Homung" in Englsidh. hi hi

We drove to KF0BI today who lives at the western part of New Jersey state. We left Fort Lee at 10:00 AM in the morning. The rain dropped when we left Fort Lee, became heavier in 5 min. and became very heavy rain soon. I could not not see even about 10m in front. Because we have to avoid snow in Canada, we have to travel in June, July or Aug. and, during this summer season, heavy rain is inevitable usually. However, we met heavy rain at country side usually and this was the first time in big city with so many cars in freeway. It was really hard driving for about 30 min. but it was changed to blue sky when we approached to KF0BI's QTH.

When we arrived to KF0BI's QTH, KF0BI couple and his mother from Korea welcomed us. We started rag chew (Talking) for a while, went up to upstairs to his ham radio shack and heard VE3HLM/ex-HM1AX in Ottawa was talking to NB2O in New York. We broke in to the QSO and joined to them. However, signal of VE3HLM in Ottawa was loud and clear but from NB2O in New York was too weak to understand. Even though NB2O has best equipment and great antenna nearby but the signal could not beat the band condition. Therefore, we said hello to VE3HLM and quit the QSO with them. KF0BI has antenna just at the top of Balcony though it was higher from the ground for 7 & 3.5MHz bands. He was also making scheduled QSOs with NB2O, VE3HLM and AA2BA mostly.

The backyard of KF0BI was similar to AA2BA's backyard surrounded by very tall trees, taller than 50 feet mostly and was very suitable for antenna tower but it seemed he was not thinking to install tall antenna tower either. We talked until 15:00 PM taking wonderful lunch prepared by his mother and his XYL and mother joined to our rag chew later. I was told his XYL has ham radio license but does not operate station. We left at around 15:00 PM after very enjoyable visit today. MNI THX KF0BI OM.

After we return to Fort Lee, I bought the dinner to HM1AM's cousin couple in appreciation for our lodging in their house for 5 days. Next day on 7/25, we had a dinner with my cousin Dong-Wook Cho couple as the last event in New York this time.
