[Elecraft] Maiden Contact with K2 serial number 4950

[David F. Reed]

Ladies and gentlemen,

I proudly announce my first contact (SSB) with K2 serial number 4950.

I have been playing around with it this afternoon, familiarizing myself 
with the rig, and had answered a few CQs with no contact resulting, when 
I heard SV9CVY on 20 Meters working  them one after the other; I got in 
the fracas, learned his listening pattern, and tried to fit it before 
calling... on my third call, he came back and gave me a 57 (he was 59)...

I admit, I had a little help; my 8 element LP was pointed his way... the 
power level was set at 10 watts...

Now, I just have to calm down and wire my paddle up for some CW action.

I am quite proud of this little rig, and very thankful for the help I 
got from Jerry, WA2DKG, who built the thing for me - nice job Jerry! Thanks!

Great rig Elecraft!
