KX1 #00590 first QSO

David Toepfer
After completing assembly of a fully kitted KX1 but only trying occasionally to
make a contact I was able to muster up my first KX1 contact with mike on Long
Island, NY.

In fact, this is only my second contact ever.  The first was when I was a
Novice back in 1984, facilitated by a ham I met at a local ARC, I guess he was
my Elmer, albeit briefly, who I believe set up a contact between me and a
friend of his on his Kenwood 599 twins.

Glad to be back.  :-)

Dave,
   Congratulations on your first QSO with the KX1 and your 2nd QSO ever! It's a very exciting thing to have someone answer you on a radio that you built and put together. Best of luck with your KX1 and hope you have many more QSO's! I've worked into several continents on my K2 and 2 or 3 watts.. pretty neat stuff!! 73s
