Dear FISTS...

Members of the Radio Club of Tacoma CW Class will be
attempting to make their first CW contact on Saturday,
1/7/2006, starting at 11:00 AM PST (sorry I am UTC
challenged).

For the last 10 weeks or so, 8 radio club members have
learned Morse Code in weekly sessions and at home
practice.  The class had two goals:  1. To be able to
pass the Element 1 test.... and 2. Make a CW QSO with
a ham in a far away place.

Now it's time to complete the goals.  Some of the
members have asked me to facilitate with "those FISTS
CW guys" who are kind (and QRS) to new CW ops.... to
set up some kind of schedule. So, I am asking you all
to listen for us.

I will probably make the first QSO as W7DK.... Members
who do not have HF privledges (tech class) will be
using W7DK's call also.  Some members have HF privs
but have forgotten Morse (or never really learned it
to use it) will be using their own call sign.

We most likely be on or abouts 14.058.  So, if you
have the time... please listen for us.

Thanks and regards...

Rich KR7W NR 9996
W7DK NR 10250   (club call worth 3 points)
