Bill

Thanks for the QSO and congratulations on your first cw contacts! Agree with 
Warren - you did very well. Like alot of things code speed improves with 
practice. Unfortunately the FCC / ARRL eliminated the code requirement so 
you may have a hard time finding slow speed 'novice' type QSOs on the ham 
bands...although I'm sure they still exist. Code tapes or computer generated 
practice cw is another way to go. I'm available for weekly (or more often) 
QSOs although summer static may make that difficult. Conditions last night 
were pretty quiet.

Jay

Heard Bill WE2XGR/5 in QSO with Jay WE2XGR/2 around 9:00 PM -
tried to fire up but my synthesizer was dead!
Turned out to be a blown fuse, replaced the fuse and worked Bill.

I believe that this was Bill's 1st two cw QSOs - Congrats ! You sound like a 
pro!
