[Elecraft] First QSO!

[Sean Wall]

Hi Phil,

It was on SSB, and yes, I was definitely nervous. In fact, I was mostly
caught off guard when they replied because I had been calling CQ for a
while and got no response and I had just scanned through the band when I
heard W1AW/5 calling CQ. I tried it and - bam! - he replied back. I sent
back my signal report and, like a knucklehead, asked what they were doing
in region 5. He just laughed and told me he was working the ARRL centennial
station in NM. Oops.
