An unexpected New One!

After Supper last Night, decided to check email and listen to 20m before heading outside. Happened to scan across the bands and at 14.190 was HH2JEA/N8JEA operating from an Orphanage in Haiti. Haiti is a new one ,so I stopped to listen. He was calling out by the numbers and went from 9 land to Zero land. I was the second "0" to be answered--cool. His signal was an actual 5/9 and He returned the same to Me-- don't know if it was but... gave Him added info about weather and location. Not necessary but I wanted it to be more than wham-bang got the DX again! From the little chatter I heard, Richard N8JEA is from Chicago and in Haiti assisting with medical. A Ham and a good samariton- don't get better than that!
