Contact with 145 division Galapagos Islands today

[BC Coyote]

Just made contact with 145AT/0 in the Galapagos Islands!
I wasn't even aware of this activation and just happened to hear him calling CQ on 27.610 USB as I was scanning through the band.

First time I've ever heard the 145 division on 11 meters, but I remember way back in the 1980's I would often hear their local radio station "La Voz de los Galapagos" on the 60 meter tropical shortwave band. Looks like it is long gone from shortwave.
