Well, this is not quite as impressive as a First contact with a new license but I did a couple of things recently in the 1st category
1: First HF RTTY contact, and 2 of 'em in fact, France and Luxemburg (As best I can speil it)
2: First trans-oceanic SSB contact,,, Scotland,
2b: First "Pile up" contact.. (Same contact) 1st try too!!!!!!
All this with 100 feet of wire tied to the screw on top of a KAT-1 Auto Tuner... WOW.
(Did some VHF Rtty back in the day with a Klinschmidt TT4/C but have never done any HF before, or any with the computer)
A good week.. Which reminds me eQSL.CC time
