Good news!

My first was on 22nd November 1969 with a guy in southern Germany - about 1500 miles using a G8KW trap dipole (similar to the W3DZZ), Kw Vanguard transmitter running 50W, and an Eddystone 888A receiver.
A very shaky CW QSO it was too!!!

Hi Darren,

Congratulations on your first HF contact.  It is especially cool that you
were able to preserve it via youtube and share it with the amateur
community.

My first HF contact was on the 15 meter novice band on CW with a Heath Kit
HW8 to a dipole in my attic in 1979.

Congratulations again and keep the rf pumping out.
