Coincidence inside a Coincidence

I spent the Christmas holiday (1988) with a friend who lives in Spain. As it was the first Christmas I had spent away from my family I promised my Daughter I would phone her on Christmas morning (she lives in Rushden, Northants). I was staying in the basement flat of my friend's villa, which also served as his 'Radio Shack' as he is a Radio Ham. On Christmas morning as I was dressing, my friend came into the flat to use his radio to wish his friends from all over the world a Merry Christmas. After he had spoken to several people that he knew he then made an 'open call' inviting any one who was 'on the air' for a chat. A guy called Dave from England contacted him and they talked for a few minutes then he mentioned his full name as Dave Southill, I though "I know a guy by that name I used to shoot with" but I had not seen him for more than 10 years. I asked my friend to ask Dave if he knew me. he did, it was my shooting friend from years back. I then spoke to Dave on the Radio and asked him where he was living now... "In Rushden" he replied."Im about to phone my daughter in Rusden to wish her a Merry christmas" I said and gave my daughters address, "Thats the next street to where I live, I'll go and get her ". So on Christmas Day 1988 I spoke to my Daughter via short wave radio due to a double coincidence The chances must be Billions to one. All of the above facts can be verified.
