Worked the Guy

Well, that's just perfect.

I need more practice on CW rag-chew.  The CWOps Intermediate Class I'm taking started last week.  We're going through the intermediate level -- where I need the most help -- just copying story's and long-form QSO type conversations.

I'm not a huge 'rag-chew' sort, but if I can carry a conversation in CW that's an improvement.  

I set my coffee to the side, tuned to the range where the CW Ops Academy people hang out and started calling CQ.  Had a couple calls and then got a strong signal from 6-area.

I get a call from N6KR and I knew the call sounded familiar -- At first I thought it was one of the CWOps regulars (and it may be, I need to check the logs).  But just as I'm writing out a QSL card I realize who it is.

Not often you get to work another operator who made some excellent equipment -- and using his radio design too.

That was a lot of fun and I hope to work him again and maybe Eric too, hihi.

At any rate, that was just what this was supposed to be.. a lot of fun and surprising.

Thanks.
