I tried my new PFR3A tonight after the meeting.<br>> I just had my
first, out of state, QSO ever with KB3AZS.<br>> The fellow was ever so
patient with me. He must have sent his call like 6 times. I can hear
AD4IH laughing. You're right Joe, there's nothing like it!!!<br>> It's
all true...my heart raced in overdrive the whole QSO, my mind went
completely blank, I couldn't remember jack----, not even my own
callsign.<br>> I looked him up on QRZ and the address was very
different from what I received... Cincinnati, Ohio is what I copied
(twice), I couldn't beleive my ears. I received a 599 and his signal
was gang-buster.<br>> I could have sworn he sent Mike as his name, but
not according to QRZ.<br>> I'd like to send him a QSL card, but I'm
not sure if I can with the info I copied (guys, I was shaking like a
leaf). I sure hope he sends me one so I can thank him again....<br>>
BTW From my QTH to either address (sent or QRZ's), my signal traveled
between 800 and 900 miles from Lakeland, Fl. Not bad for 5 watts eh?<br>><br>><br>>
and I guess I'm supposed to try to sleep now,<br>> yeah right,<br>>
