Congratulations, Jon!  Even those of us who have been doing CW for a long time remember the excitement and trepidation of those first contacts!  It’s kind of a big deal.

Just thought I'd let everyone know, after about 7 months give or take of study,  last night I made my first and second cw contact. 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!
