Sean, Please allow me to add my "congratulations" to this already long and august list. I, too, remember my first QSO, mere hours after my call appeared in the FCC database. It led me to years of fun, a DXCC, several WAS, and more intesting contacts than I can count. Welcome to the hobby! Ian Kahn, KM4IK Roswell, GA km4ik.ian at gmail.com
