Just wait till ya read his handwriting, lol. That is so funny how small this
world is, that you could join a list and find a member who was your first qso.

Subject: Re: For Megan - Tnx for the QSO
I thought that call sign sounded familiar...
Yes, you were the first unscheduled CW contact that I ever made on the air -
thanks for the QSO, Steve!
Participating in the PA QSO Party seemed like a great way to practice CW and
make some short contacts. Since the format was (for the most part)
predictable, I thought it would be pretty easy. The CW was a little bit on
the fast side for me, but I was able to pick out a lot and had a lot of fun.
It was great to hear the bands so full of signals! Here in the apartment, I
mostly just hear noise. I am looking forward to next year's QSO Party where
I plan to make a lot more than 6 contacts - hi hi.
I will be eagerly waiting for your QSL. Thanks again so much!
73, Megan KB3RGW
