It's been a month since I got my K1, and I finally overcame my 'key-
shyness' and resonded to a CQ.
My morse skills are still pretty bad, but the CQ (on 40 Meters) was
slow enough that I was pretty confident. VE2DPO in Quebec was my
first CW contact in almost 8 years -- and only my second CW contact
ever! Also, the first new entry in my logbook since 2001. And the
first QRP entry.
I'm just running 2 watts into a 95 foot wire that's dangling between
some trees in my backyard, and keying the rig for now with just a
little spst momentary switch at the end of some wire because I can't
find my real key (last seen before my last move).
I know it's nothing, no big deal. But it got me excited.
