Cool. Is Okinawa a JA posession like Guam or Saipan is a W6
posession?

You ignored the phrase "...according to Lennie".

Len posts here. If he thought I needed that information, he would
have
given it to me.

But he did...Right there where he tried to make us think Okinawa
was NOT a "real" part of Japan.

Is Northern Ireland a real part of Ireland?

Okinawa is a prefecture of Japan...a "state", just like
Hawaii,
Rhode Island, or Texas is to us.

Prefecture. There are awards for working those.

A-yup.

They are very much a part of Japan,
CONTRARY to what Lennie would have other believe.

What others?

You...Me...Anyone who happens to read through here...

I can make up my own mind about Okinawa.

"Sayonara" is completely appropriate.

And "putz" is not.

Absolutely not.

So why do you use it so often here?

Nor would I use it one the air.

You are the shining star in hamdom.

I had a blast from Okinawa in 81...But the "new" sequential
callsign system was still new in the States, and a lot of folks seem
to
skip by the "KA6" calls...UNTIL, that is, that we got wise and
started
signing /JR6. Then the pile-ups started! I was KA6CM on Oki.

Yep. Tried field day from Guam. The USA hams in the test had no idea
what a /KH2 was.
