CQ CQ CQ This is KE7KPT CQ Kilo Echo 7 Kilo Papa Tango




Got my antenna up to 32 feet and have been CQing. Contacted North Carolina, Florida, Texas, Arizona, Edmonton Canada, and California. Works much better hope the covenants in Carson River don't make me take it down.




I passed the element 4 test last Saturday (February 24th). Which means I am now an amateur extra ham operator and have all frequency privileges
