world is, that you could join a list and find a member who was your first 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
