Hi Phil, It was on SSB, and yes, I was definitely nervous. In fact, I was mostly caught off guard when they replied because I had been calling CQ for a while and got no response and I had just scanned through the band when I heard W1AW/5 calling CQ. I tried it and - bam! - he replied back. I sent back my signal report and, like a knucklehead, asked what they were doing in region 5. He just laughed and told me he was working the ARRL centennial station in NM. Oops.
