K1 #2024 is alive

Jason Artz
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
