9th. Driving Trip around N. A. Continent

crossing 18 times.   7/6 - 8/6, 2017

(Part-5   Á¦5ºÎ)

We are going to drive around North American Continent again - our 9th. drive around - during 7/6 - 8/6 (one month). By this driving, we will achieve 18 times of crossing the continent. We would like to have another one next year to achieve 10 times of driving around the continent in our life, though we are not sure whether we could do it next year or not ??????

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.

To go some place, it is very hard to predict how long it will take in New York area. Therefore, if you give enough time leaving much earlier, you arrive too early most cases. Today, I had an appointment with WA3EW OM to meet at 12:00 noon at the Edison city at extreme southern tip of New Jersey, Navigator predicted one hour but I left Fort Lee one hour further earlier at 10:00 AM. However, there were many cars coming in to New York but not too many going out. Therefore, I followed a truck to drive as slowly as possible and found the slower driving is harder than faster driving. hi hi. I drove as slower as possible but arrived to the destination at 11:15 AM, 45 min. too early.

However, WA3EW/ex-HM4EW Kim OM coming from local had a traffic congestion and arrived about 10min. late. We met last year for the first time and we were very glad to meet again this year. We went to a Japanese buffet restaurant called Ichi Umi (One Sea?) and talked until 14:00 PM taking lunch together. The subject we talked was mostly the stories of his very early time of ham radio life and I talked about very early time of KARL. We exchanged latest news of OMs we know together (HM1CO, HM1AQ etc.). 2 hours have passed so fast but I had to go to ex-HM5BG at about 200 miles further south and had to say 73 at 14:00 PM.

Then, I started to drive turnpike of highway 95 to south. The gate to pay cash was at the extreme left, paid fee and found the exit to south was at the right in less than 100m. There was no time to change lanes all the way from extreme left to the extreme right in less than 100m. I had no choice but to drive to exit to north. There are many places like this in east coast. In California, they will never make this kind of stupid road and you could return back at immediate next exit if you get in to a wrong exit. However, it is impossible in New York area and I have found I was back to original Edison city when I exited at the next exit. I paid the fee again and extremely slowly changed so many lanes to the right and could get in to the south entrance this time. As the result, I paid fee twice and it caused about 30 min. delay. (The worst case was I paid George Washington Bridge fee 3 times last year to come from Manhattan to Fort Lee.) People living there might know this problem well and could avoid it, but the stranger like me has no choice but to fall in this kind of trouble often. hi hi

Anyway, we arrived to HM5BG's QTH after 19:00 PM, more than an hour later. HM5BG has one son and 4 daughters. The eldest daughter is in Korea, one daughter lives in North Carolina but two daughters live nearby who help mom very much. Today too, the youngest was helping mom for dinner preparation for us. When we all lived in Pusan, all daughters were too young for elementary school but they are all more than 60 years old now. We found HM5BG slipped at bed side changing clothes in last March, hospitalized and had surgery. Fortunately, it was not too serious and she had been recovered very well. She doesn't have any problem for daily life now but she said she could not travel yet. We hope she could recover 100% soon.

Today on 7/29, we left Columbus, Ohio, where we stayed one night last night at my nephew Seong-Koo Cho's house, in the morning and drove relatively short 303 miles to Champaign (not the name of wine but a name of city), Illinois where K9SUL lives. We never made QSO on the air but met last year when he visited San Jose for business trip. When we arrived his QTH, his parents were there from Korea and welcomed us. We were surprised when these old parents spoke English very well but found both of them were educated in U.S.A..

HL9SUL OM came to U.S.A., graduated from Illinois College here and started social life at Motorola here. He is now working for Yahoo here and he lived in this city all the way since he came to U.S.A.. When we arrived, his XYL and children were not at home. we examined antenna and shack. He also could not raise the steel tower due to the complaint of neighbors and had to satisfy with Ground Plane and Doublet antennas. However, he could make QSOs with Europe when the condition was good. Usually, he made good QSOs with New York area but he said he could not make QSOs with California and Korea. Lee OM is a Drake (ham equipment manufacturer) fan and he had many Drake products in the shack. As Dayton where annual hamvention (convention of ham radio) is held is close enough, he visited Dayton Hamvention often, purchased many Drake products, repaired them and used for his QSOs. There was a Korea made transceiver in the shack.

After various enjoyable talking, it became dinner time. XYL could not go with us because she had to take care of her parents-in-laws and we went out with HL9SUL OM to a restaurants in downtown, continued to enjoy rag chew and had to say 73 from there. The weather was unusually cool this year, in Champaign too. There are only little more than a week left to complete this trip and there will be no ham for next 3 days until we arrive Phoenix.

There was a "Korea House" sign cross the street from our hotel in Springfield which was the sign of Korean restaurant out of business now.

When we got into Oklahoma state yesterday, the speed limit was increased to 75MPH (120km/h) and continued today in Texas and New Mexico. Today, we had to drive longest distance in a day of 544 miles. We left Oklahoma City early at 07:16 AM, drove 8 hours and 22 min. and arrived Albuquerque in New Mexico at 14:38 PM. (The time zone has changed again today and we gained one hour.) However, considering about an hour we spent for lunch, filling gas to the car and few coffee breaks, actual driving hour was about 7 hours and 20 min. which means we drove at 75 MPH in average. To drive 75MPH in average, we had to drive 90MPH (135km/h) for quite a period and max. 95MPH (150km/h). Fortunately, there is no patrol car in the road with this high speed limit, perhaps, because there is no town around. Because we drove so fast whole day, we felt tired when we arrived Albuquerque which we didn't have until last year. I think I am getting older and I feel more and more another driving next year might be impossible.

Original plan was if we leave hotel at 08:00 AM and drive at 80 MPH, we will arrive Phoenix at 16:00 PM and we informed to HM1AC that plan. However, our departure itself was one hour earlier, and we were supposed to drive HWY-40 to Flagstaff and turn south to HWY-17 to Phoenix, but navigator directed us at Holbrook, much earlier than Flagstaff, to turn south to mountain roads HWy-377, HWy-260 and HWY-87 which were short cut to save about 70 miles. As there was almost no car on the roads, we drove 80-85 MPH mostly while speed limit were around 55-65 MPH. It was a hard winding mountain road driving but we could same about 2 hours than original plan and arrived Phoenix at HM1AC QTH at around 13:00 PM local time, though it was really a hard driving. (There was no highway patrol car hi) The large cactus is the symbol of Arizona and lives in Arizona only. I showed a picture of 1975 to show the size of cactus in Arizona.

HM1AC OM is a junior at Engineering College of Seoul National University and was a member of LCR Club which helped me a lot to do KARL works. We always stayed in his house on the way home whenever we drove crossing the continents. He joined Motorola very early when Motorola started the operation in Korea, was transferred and worked in Motorola Malaysia for a while and was transferred and worked in Motorola HQ in Phoenix before he quit Motorola and have had his own business. He lost his XYL who passed away about 5 years ago, became a photographer and have been traveling all over the world to take pictures including Europe. Here are 3 photographs he took.
