[John Cooper]

I made a cw contact last night but the other stations signals were =
drifting in and out.  Not mine but his this was while I was listening.  =
I had to use the RIT and follow him up and down while copying it was a =
little hard but no problem just need practise.  Is this why their is a =
RIT button?  Theirs been a lot back and forth bout drift but its all =
been bout our station drifting after transmiting and letting the k2 get =
hot if you dont have the mod.  This guy was runing a ten tec in CA, Im =
in TX.  Ive ended qsos before prematurely cause they just left or =
disapeared now I wonder if its because their signal just drifted a lil =
bit.  I did not know you had to follow cw. I thought you just cq then =
talked.  He was never than bout .20 hz away.  Anywhere from 14.010.20 to =
14.010.50.  Dont let the 2x1 call fool you. IM a young newbie to the =
hobby. =20
