Chapter 236 Meet the ham again
Where there are Chinese, there must be [Chinese] Chinese restaurants.
When it comes to delicious food, no country can compare with [China], which is why [China] restaurants can be opened all over the world.
Lin Hong is from Lingnan Province. If he is other fellow countrymen, he will be happy, and he is not so picky about food. However, after eating bread, oatmeal porridge, steak and other Western food for a long time, the smell of birds faded out of my mouth.
So, when I heard my left hand say that there was a Chinese student gathering, I was also moved. On the one hand, it can improve my life, and on the other hand, I can know a few more people.
The place where they had dinner was the restaurant where Lin Hong and his left hand went for the first time last time.
There are many Chinese people who come here to eat. Of course, there are also many foreigners who like [Chinese] Chinese food.
Seeing so many black-haired, black-eyed and yellow-skinned Chinese around him, Lin Hong felt cordial and had the illusion of returning to the [middle] country.
This party is organized by the left hand. He has a cheerful personality. He is very familiar with Chinese students at MIT or Harvard. He often organizes everyone to get together and chat.
The business of this restaurant is booming, but the left hand is a regular customer here, and the seat has been reserved in advance.
When Lin Hong and he arrived, the others had not come yet.
Lin Hong asked, "How many people are there this time?"
"The two people who had dinner with us last time also came back. There is also a boy and a girl. The boy's name is Wu Fei. He graduated from the Department of Precision Instruments of Shuimu University and is currently studying radio engineering at MIT. The girl's name is Zhang Xin. She is from Harvard University. She is in medical school. The two of them are currently dating.
In a short time, these two came over.
Lin Hong saw that Wu Fei was tall, white and tender, and he knew at a glance that he often didn't like outdoor activities.
And the girl Zhang Xin is short and a little fat, but her face is not bad. The two of them can only reach Wu Fei's shoulders when they stand together.
Zhang Xin's nature is obviously more lively. As soon as she came, she greeted her left hand enthusiastically, and also smiled sweetly at Lin Hongtian.
Then, the two classmates Liu Yang and Deng Yike, who had dinner together last time, also came. They were both MIT students.
The left hand gives you a brief introduction to each other. Because we are all students who come here to study abroad, there are many common topics with each other. In addition, we are also Chinese people, and we get along well with each other.
International students chatted together, there were things that happened when they were in China, and there were also some problems encountered when they came to the United States.
Zhang Xin is cheerful, and her eloquence is also easier to talk about all kinds of misunderstandings, jokes and eloquences caused by [China] international students after they came to the United States.
She told a joke about a [Chinese] Chinese student who had just come to the United States to study, which made everyone want to criticize.
This joke is a [true] incident. The student is one of her juniors. He just came to the United States and made a lot of jokes about her spoken English.
Once the other party encountered difficulties on the road and injured his leg and could not move. At this time, a [police] came to ask kindly.
"Hw∞y∞? How are you?)
Who knew that this junior didn't think at all and said, "Fn, dingnkY∞! I'm fine, thank you! ˇ
Then the [police] left immediately after hearing the words.
At this time, the junior realized that he had made a mistake and answered the other party's question according to the standard sentence pattern in the domestic textbook, which caused him to wait for more than half an hour to meet a kind-hearted person and send him to the hospital.
There are too many such cases, which are misunderstandings caused by language incompassing or differences in behavioral habits.
For example, there was another time when he was a Chinese student. When he was driving a car, he caused a misunderstanding that the [policeman] was standing in the distance. The [police] inspector shouted to him and told him not to move. As a result, according to the domestic thinking, the student wanted to get a driver's license from the He took a gun from the inside and almost shot him. In the end, the student was beaten. He didn't even complain about the injustice and was beaten for nothing.
After Lin Hong came to rice, he rarely encountered such a thing.
The main reason why he is so lucky is that his spoken English was quite good before he came. As his oral English enlightenment teacher, Phylise is quite competent. On the other hand, before he came to the United States, he had already learned about many taboos and customs in the United States. Some of this knowledge came from his mother and Mu Simin, and some came from Si Qian.
Wu Fei was a relatively introverted person, but later he and Lin Hong chatted with great interest.
There is no other reason, just because he learned that Lin Hong was also a senior ham, and the distance between them suddenly became very close.
Lin Hong learned that Wu Fei can also be said to be an ashes-level ham. His father is a physics teacher. Under the influence of his father, he has been playing ore radio since he was a child.
The two of them talked about the topic of ham, which was very speculative.
Wu Fei was very surprised by Lin Hong's familiarity with radio knowledge. It seems that he knows everything about any topic in this field. This is not a fur understanding, but really has a very deep study.
This makes Wu Fei admire Lin Hong very much. You know, Lin Hong is not very old now. This is not only in China, but also very rare in the United States.
Unconsciously, they talked about the WW00 competition.
It turned out that Wu Fei also participated in the WW00 competition held in the past year.
"Last year's WWCQ competition was more difficult than usual, but the gratifying thing is that the [Zhongzhong] hams have achieved very good results this time!" Wu Fei sighed that he was still a little vivid in last year's game.
"It's surprising that not only the national group won the first place, but also the individual group won the championship."
Wu Fei had to sigh.
In last year's 00WW competition, the ham of [China] made the whole Asian ham look different, because whether it is a group or an individual group, the champion is [China] ham. Directly let some RI hams that have been looking down on the [middle] national ham shut up.
Wu Fei was in the United States at that time and participated in the team competition in the United States. The team he represented was the MIT Radio Association, which undoubtedly won the first place. However, this time, the victory is also relatively uncertain. It is only more than 1,000 points more than the second-place team of Princeton University. If it does not persist until the end, it is likely to miss the championship.
"Yes, I re-applied the call sign in the United States. It's W1WE. What's your call sign?" At this time, Wu Fei took out a pass card from his pocket and handed it to Lin Hong.
For ham, the Tonglian card is the business card.
"My call sign is BDZX72. Sorry, I didn't bring the pass card when I came out today. I'll bring it to you next time I come.
Lin Hong took over the other party's Tonglian card and said a little sorry.
"BDZX72?" Wu Fei was slightly stunned when he heard the words, "Second-class ham?"
"Yes, I have been promoted to the second level."
"It's so strong!" Wu Fei said from the bottom of his heart.
He has a deep understanding of this. When he was in China, he had never been promoted, and he did not successfully apply until he arrived in the United States. He knows how difficult it is to advance to the second level in China.
"What?" After Wu Fei finished speaking, he suddenly became puzzled. He felt that the call sign was very familiar.
"B07...XZZ...I remember!"
Wu Fei patted his thigh.
"Isn't this the call sign of the champion of the individual group in last year's WWCQ competition?" Wu Fei suddenly said, and then he looked at Lin Hong with a puzzled face, "No way? Are you sure this is your call sign?
Lin Hong was a little helpless: "This is indeed my call sign. If you don't believe it, just look back at my Tonglian card. I only heard that I won the first place before I came to the United States. In fact, there was also a fluke in it.
Wu Fei looked at Lin Hong in a stalk for a long time.
The news is so shocking.
After his confirmation, he didn't think that Lin Hong was lying.
Because through the chat just now, he has found that Lin Hong has a deep knowledge in the field of radio, and many of the negatives have been studied very deeply, and he can't keep up with the pace of the other party.
Under Zhang Xin's reminder, he came to his senses. He grabbed Lin Hong and said excitedly, "WWCQ's champion has no water!" I didn't expect you to be the mysterious champion of the individual group! Do you know? After this result came out, those hams in China were guessing who the call sign was..."
Since the results came out, BDZZ has completely become famous in the amateur radio industry.
Since the domestic Internet has not developed at all during this period, the news is only spread between hams, and it is not concentrated. There are all kinds of rumors.
Someone originally revealed that the call sign was an old ham call sign, but later, ham kept denying this statement, saying that he had established contact with this call sign, and the other party was obviously a young man.
At the beginning, everyone wanted to wait for the party to take the initiative to appear, but after such a long time, the call sign seemed to have completely disappeared.
Wu Fei combined the time when the call sign disappeared and the time when Lin Hong came to study in the United States, which can coincide with it.
Moreover, they then talked about some details of the last game, focusing on the information blowout in Europe... In the end, Wu Fei completely believed that Lin Hong was the mysterious BDZX72.
The other people sitting are not hams. Except for Zhang Xin's understanding of this area because of Wu Fei, others have not been exposed to this aspect at all.
Out of curiosity, they asked Wu Fei about the details of this. Wu Fei explained in detail, and then everyone realized the weight of the first place in the WWCQ Asian individual group.
"STO№, I didn't expect your research on radio to be so profound. I admire you so much!" The left hand said with a smile.
Other people also praised him one after another, which made Lin Hong very embarrassed.
After the dinner, Wu Fei invited Lin Hong to visit the MIT Radio Association, and Lin Hong agreed happily.
After coming to the United States for so long, he has never been in contact with the radio station, which often makes him feel very unaccustomed. Previously, when I studied mobile phones, I just wanted to see if the mobile phone could realize the function of a radio station, but at present, it seems that it is okay to receive the wireless signal of nearby phones, but in order to realize short-wave long-distance communication, the mobile phone can only be transferred through the wireless base station of the telephone company.
