Wayne,
I have still not taken my Element 3 exam. I am studying in the
evenings. As soon as I get my General and an antenna up I will try
to contact you.

Sorry for waiting so long to get this into the mailbox. Would like
to share
my fun of the last few weeks.
I took my Morse code test Feb 19th. I sure would have liked to pass
it. I
might have been last one to pass. Unfortunately, I failed by ONE
letter. Oh
well....
Another VE session was done for me the same night and I was upgraded to
General class on Friday the 23 along with 3 or 4 others locally. I
only had 2 days
grace time since I passed my Element 3 test last year on Feb 25th.
Since then I have made some contacts on HF. A few on SSB and one on
CW (not
pretty). And lastly of more interest to this forum, I made a RTTY
one with
WA2HWJ in NY.
I am looking for some RTTY contacts from you Greenkeyers. I can work 20
meters very well thanks to an antenna tuner and 40 meters as well. I
am running
about 30-40 watts power on RTTY into a fixed dipole with best
direction north
and south from my location in Vermont. 60 wpm baudot only. Using a
32 ASR
with 60 wpm gears.
I dont think I can get to the west coast too well, but will try
anything.
Any takers?
Again, thanks for the encouragement from all here for the past year.
Wayne
