BEST QSO:  Well, I only had one QSO but it was my first successful CW QSO (after a bad unsuccessful try at a contact in the last contest)!  I Practiced and warmed up for several hours and then listened to many before I found a nice quiet spot and called CQ, hoping for a nice clear signal to come back to me and slowly!  W1IK (W1iK) came in after a while of calling when I was about to give up.  I told him right away that he was my first CW QSO and Jim was very patient with me.  He slowed down to what must have been an almost impossible pace for an experienced operator and we had a nice QSO after which I had to rest my ears and my wife's ears for a while!

  73 Jim, W1IK and thank you very much!!!
