In [my previous post](/concurso-el-rey-de-espana-i-talked-to-the-king-of-spain/ "I talked to the king of Spain!") I spoke about the conversation I had on Sunday with the King of Spain. Some people asked me what we talked about and if we had a nice conversation. Because this was a radio amateur contest the talk we had was very short but friendly. To give you an idea how such a conversation goes I made a transcript of my talk with His Majesty. This is it:

Him: CQ King of Spain contest, this is EA0JC QRZ? Me : Papa Alpha one Charlie Alpha Him: One Charlie Alpha, repeat your callsign ?? Me : Papa Alpha one Charlie Alpha Him: Papa Alpha one Charlie Alpha, you’re 59 SMR Me : Thank you for SMR, you’re 59 57 Him: 57 QSL, thank you 73 Me : 73 good luck!

Its clear I guess that we didn’t swap any recipes! ;-) The whole contact wasn’t more than 30 seconds but this is how it goes in a Radio Amateur contest!
