Eastport.
Eastern most City in the continental U.S.!
ok..
As a resident, I passed the code test, (1 minute of solid copy at 13 wpm) and the written test (not one bloody multiple guess question on it!) and got the restricted ticket. It took me less than 3 months to make the 500 CW contacts ( straight key only, because that is how I fly!) required to get the unrestricted ticket, and I had a ball doing it! The Drakes (T4XB - R4B), and a trapped vertical, Oh Yeah Baby!
P.S. I also hold the Advanced class ticket WA1WJB.
Happy Trails,

Sounds great I've operated from Japan and Okinawa back in the 1970's and used the drake twins a few times also. Great rigs.As a resident, I passed the code test, (1 minute of solid copy at 13 wpm) and the written test (not one bloody multiple guess question on it!) and got the restricted ticket.

Then there was the Eastport equivalent of the "Great Chicago Fire", which wiped out the entire waterfront.
Bye the way looked u up on qrz and saw the station Nice. Wish I had room for a setup like that now. Limited to a little rig qrp and indoor antenna at the moment. But , I'm on the airSame for me!
Looked up the VP9 fisrt. Just looked up your WA1 call nice.Which call did you look up? Try the stateside call, and check out my QSL card in the upper right corner. You don't see many like that one any more!
