The only radio ham in Taiwan for 25 years

*Tim Chen BV2A* was famous among amateur radio enthusiasts as the only
person allowed to operate in Taiwan until 1985, when the government started
issuing more licenses

The Tapei Times reports:

Until 1985, Taiwan’s amateur (ham) radio scene consisted of one person: Tim
Chen ( 陳實忻 ), who held the country’s only license due to Martial Law era
restrictions. According to a Liberty Times (the sister newspaper of the
Taipei Times) report, this resulted in the unusual situation where Taiwan
Garrison Command had to establish a set of amateur radio regulations just
for him.

Since there was nobody else in Taiwan to talk to, Chen connected with
people around the world, using Morse code at first via his station BV2A,
and gaining voice communication capabilities in 1974 through BV2B. Chen was
strictly forbidden to speak with anyone in China or the Soviet Union, but
he enjoyed much popularity as the world’s only BV (Taiwan’s country code)
station operator — so much so that US senator and fellow ham enthusiast *Barry
Goldwater K7UGA* specifically requested to tour Chen’s two stations when he
visited Taiwan in 1986.
