73, Dave - W8OV
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!
