While on a business trip to Lake Havasau City, AZ I made my first ever QRP contact this evening, and with my newly assembled KX3 # 5607 with W1AW/4 in Georgia. Using 5 watts and received "59 - nice signal for QRP from out west". Of course he has a beam pointed to the west so that helped a great deal.. but I was still pretty excited about it! Took me about 15 minutes to get through the "west coast wall" but that is to be expected.
Now to start learning where QRP folks hang out in the bands. I did join the KX3 yahoo group and looking forward to learning more about QRP. Thanks for letting me beat my chest a little.
