I finished K1-4 #2024 on Saturday morning with the KAT1 installed. My first contact was with someone working the OR QRP contest, but I, being too nervous/excited/rusty at CW to comprehend what was going on, didn't understand what "number" he was requesting in order to get points for our QSO (I needed to give him a 1 - he was my first contact in the contest - I was his 19th). Guess I should read the exchange rules before jumping into a contest. If you're out there, please accept my apology!
My next contacts were with Alberta and Hawaii - not bad for 5 watts and a _very_ poor antenna. Exciting! I still have a few adjustments to make, but all in all I am very pleased with the rig. I hope to get my CW speed back up to the 25wpm I had 5 or 6 years ago. 72, Jason AC6XA/W7 __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail Mobile Take Yahoo! Mail with you!
