Congratulations, Jon……AWESOME!!!

WH6BLI (novice Hawaii) was my very first DX on the 40 meter novice band 70 YEARS AGO – I am sure you were just as thrilled with KH6LC as I was with my contact with “BLI” who I met two years later in Honolulu 😊

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!
