.. it happened last summer, not because I knew anything about sports, but because I worked in radio and I live in Alaska! I was listening to them on 12015kHz and texted in with a quick message after they did a story on Olympian Lydia Jacoby from Seward, Alaska. They read my text on air and joked, "We've already got a reporter on the way to Seward now"
I replied with "If you really want a report "filed form Alaska" I have a broadcast studio I can record something in and included my phone number in the text reply.
5 minutes later, I had London calling my cell phone and about 10 minutes later I was on the air.
I bungled my way through the call... here's the audio recorded off the 15490kHz transmission via Ascension to Africa:
