For me, it's gotta be Namibia. It's a country in Southern Africa, and the only reason I've come to be aware of it was because I've made a very fortunate contact whilst talking on amateur radio. Two consecutive Decembers I happened upon the same gentleman on the 10 meter band, and he confirmed my QSOs (contacts) on the logbook!

I love that about amateur radio. It's old fashioned social media, one of the most "actually social" media out there. I might take that hobby on myself some day, if I ever have time and money.
