Stephanie - Nice Job. It is very scary to get on the air the first time. Very scary indeed. It makes adults sweat and quiver, makes their knees weak and their brains dim.
But you worked through it! Yes!!! I remember the beginning (and end) of my first CW qso. I called CQ (very slowly). Someone answered, I sent the basics (RST, QTH, Name). He replied and I copied about half. I freaked and shut the rig off. Came back 20 minutes later when the coast was clear and began calling CQ ... :-) I hated CW for the first several years but that was all I could operate. Once I got proficient with CW, I found I loved it. Now, it's about all I do. And for heaven's sake, find a way to get a proper key :-) - Keith - -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stephanie Maks Sent: Sunday, January 08, 2006 10:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Finally made first contact with K1 Thank you everyone for the kind and encouraging words!
