First KX-1 Contacts!

[Burke Jones]

Okay, I am pumped and just had to share.  I finally finished up my Elecraft
KX-1 and internal tuner.  I headed to the park today at lunch and threw my
28 ft. wire up in the tree with a 16 ft. counterpoise.  I ran off the
internal battery pack.  I not been on the air for probably 12 years....

I called CQ both times!  Keith - KB8FE & Darval - W7KNA - two much better
ops than I.  Thanks guys!

CW is VERY rusty - but I managed!
