[Elecraft] QSO with KI4DGH

[Joe Ford]

Fellow Elecrafters:

Last night I was doing some of the never ending administrative tasks 
around the shack here and my K2 was sitting on 7045 khz when Chuck, 
KI4DGH came on calling CQ. I recognized his call from one I had seen 
here on the reflector. We had a nice K2 to K2 QSO, cut short when my 
dog, Heidi began scratching on my leg asking to go outside.

The reason I bring this up, Chuck has only been a ham for about 14 
months. In that short period he has built both a KX1 and a K2 and he has 
learned the code pretty well. A lot of us old timers think we are the 
only ones doing CW. Guys like Chuck are proving us wrong.

Well I know I'm not the only one who has met people new to ham radio 
with an interest in CW, QRP and building good radios. But I was 
impressed with Chuck's accomplishments and thought them worthy of note.

Also, Elecraft deserves a lot credit for their great kits which attract 
new and old alike.

Okay, that's enough of that!

73,
Joe
