I got home from work and fired up the radio.  I just made my first HF contact, SE Missouri to San Diego California.  Not a bad haul for some wire in the trees in my back yard!

I thought you just passed the test the other day?  Took forever to get my call.



Anyway, congratulations.

Congratulations on the 1st HF call. I remember mine was with a HAM in Michigan, but I don't have his callsign anymore.



I still remember the QSO pretty well though. It was on 40m during the summer of 2008.

Ham radio rules: You must also post info re. antenna and power output, plus mode (SSB, CW, etc).

Congrats!
