I was on my HW-8 and made a total of two contacts. The second was with AH6AX. I wasn't fooled -- I knew they weren't in Hawaii. But the op gave me his home call: WB8YYY. Curt is a SolderSmoke listener. In a follow-up e-mail he alerted me to the web site of AA8V. Great stuff. Thanks Curt.
Here is the AA8V workshop:
