EA8URL
I built my Elecraft K3 and tested it a bit before I put it on the air in the ARRL SSB Sweepstakes. So my first QSO was there, with K1LZ, but I'll report on the K3 and SS later. Just now I had the first CW QSO on 18.077 with EA8URL who gave me 599. I tried at 10W first but got no answer so I cranked up to 120W and still no answer. Then I noticed I had my SteppIR pointed 180 degrees so I pressed the button and probably should have gone back to 10W but I got the answer immediately at 120W.
