[IRCA] OT, First ever QSO




Hi Joe and Bert and anyone interested,

Well I got my first ever QSO tonight. I found an AM group on 75 M, 3885 KHz, didn't do much talking, were a bunch of old friends I guess catching up on things. They said my signal was good, most or all were from upstate NY, probably 300-500 miles from here. The DX-100 puts out about 130 watts on AM. The two big AM frequencies around here seem to be 1885 on 160 and 3885 on 75. So that was a big thrill for me, took me two months of fooling with all the stuff to get everything running nice, but the worst part was getting the antenna up in the jungle behind the house. Now I'm going to start working on the HW-101, is supposed to be ready to go, we'll see,

To Bob, Bert & the group,

Just last night night, I got my 15 meter stick antenna
with radials tuned up and running. I still have 40 and
20 meter antenna issues, but hopfully before too long.

So when you're ready to do this, please count me in.
And I even have a QSL card made up...
