Elecraft; First CW QSO

Just a quick note to the list that my newly assembled KX1 serial
number 753 is alive. I made my first QSO this evening just after
2300Z to WU3L (Frank) on 40m.

This was not only the first QSO for the KX1 but was also my first
CW QSO ever (not counting fooling around with friends). The KX1
performed admirably; I was intensely nervous!

I love this stuff! 73!

Well done Scott. My first cw qso was only 12 months ago and I too was a
complete bag of nerves with my straight key. Keep on with the  CW. It's
taken me 12 months and over 500 qso's to get relaxed and confident at 15wpm
but all the practise is paying off now. Hope to work you one day.
