The prettiest ham and the longest call
23 February 2013 | by Fifteen metres was again in good shape today. The contacts I made included the prettiest ham I’ve yet worked, and the station with the longest call I’ve ever logged.

Call me a male chauvinist if you like, but whenever I work a YL (young lady) on the bands I can’t resist looking to see if I can find a picture of her. I worked Natali from Moscow on PSK31 this afternoon and she must be the prettiest ham radio operator I’ve worked in my long career. She keeps a pretty neat shack, too.
The prize for the longest callsign ever logged goes to YO2013EYOWF which is the official call of the European Youth Olympic Winter Festival 2013 in Brasov, Romania. I pity anyone having to send that in CW! I don’t have any pictures of the YO2013EYOWF operators but they do have a very pretty logo which I expect will be on their QSL.

Nice looking lady indeed. I believe the longest of all time was ON500MERCATOR, from Belgium last year. I worked 4U50SPACE, which is getting up there. 8 and 9 character calls, especially when with a portable “/” are fairly common and, I agree, would be harder to do or record on CW. Slow work for contests!
