I am pleased to tell you all that I made my first contact yeaterday for 15
years. I became deaf over night and immediately packed up Amateur Radio. One
year ago I decided to try and start again and bought the K2 kit, with all
the accessories (except Transeverters).
My first contact was pre-arranged, one hour before a Contest, and was
reasonable easy to do. The Contest had a different result - I made 5 contacts in 4
hours, well 3 actually as I packed up in the middle for a rest.
I carried out this exercise by (a) feeling the vibration from a L/S and (b)
trying to read a light from my Son of Zero Beat. Both systems (light and
vibration) have their problems and I shall be trying to improve on both of them.
Help has been offered by members of this Net and I would like to thank you
all for this.
I would like to give something in return - I have produced a memory card for
remember the function of the various buttons on the K2. If any one wants a
copy please e-mail my and I will send to you.
Regards to all
John G4BOU
