[ADXA] I made it, I made it!!

[Jon W. Reynolds]

Thanks everyone for the encouragement! It's been a process, and it's not where I'd like to be on my recognition, but from what I'm understanding and thinking, if I waited until my send and receive is perfect, I'll would never have gotten on the air.

I'm currently 4/50 on WAS and 2/100 to dxcc on LOTW. Cue our fearless leader's favorite saying!!!

I was so excited I emailed the station for qsl confirmation because things were happening fast for me with the keyer and speaker. Got a return email confirmation KH6LC is in the log book, 8/25/25 02:47utc 14.028, 20wpm 50W out to my home made vertical antenna!
