01/02/2007 | W0VHV WAS UNABLE TO MAKE ANY CONTACTS AT ALL ON THE FIRST DAY. I MUST HAVE PUT OUT A DOZEN CQ'S. IF ANYONE ANSWERED I COULDN'T HEAR THEM. PROPAGATION MUST HAVE BEEN BAD. THE NEXT DAY WAS BETTER. WITH THE LIMITED TIME I HAD TO OPERATE I MADE THREE CONTACTS BEFORE MY FIST GAVE OUT. I WAS USING MY OLD J-38 KEY THAT I USED TO LEARN THE CODE SOME 52 YEARS AGO. -- W0VHV
