OK, Bob…  I will bite.  Hope, who is 9 years old and was standing on the beach, heard his callsign and expected that it was on the recording.  I am so sorry that for the sake of AMSAT and Ham Radio in general that a 9 year old wasn’t able to write down the callsign while holding two radios and an antenna.  Since she is so inept, perhaps she should quit the hobby altogether.  I look forward to meeting you face to face, so you can belittle my daughter to her face.

Once Paul confirmed the callsign, we were able to make it out on the recording.
