Barney Fife and I

[Harry Johnson_]

Barney has 1 bullet and I (finally ) have one official QSO -- even confirmed on QRZ.  Also, I used a  single watt.

It's been a struggle, but I've learned a lot. I did go to FT8  even though that added to the confusion, but I just never hear that much on SSB with my apartment dwellers mangled  dipole.

Congrats are NOT in order -- I believe that I set a record for mistakes.

73,

Harry KF0MAB

[Chuck Stroud]

Congratulations anyhow Harry for overcoming an "apartment dwellers mangled  dipole" and a record # of mistakes to achieve that QSO/QSL. At least you learned something!  Many never try.

Harry:

You’re in good company. There was a blog, now gone (Silent Key) called The Amateur Amateur who told similar stories of Amateur Radio misadventures in learning.
