First contact in over 20 years!

On Thursday evening, September 10, 2009 I had my first QSO in over 20 years. The station was KE6GG in Fremont, CA. I was operating on 40 meters from my home in Moscow, ID running QRP from an Icom IC-706MKII into a homebrew dipole strung up inside the second floor of my home. I was so excited I forgot to note the frequency and the QSO was cut short when my power supply (a motorcycle battery) ran low on power. All the same it was great to get back on the air again.
