I am pleased to tell you all that I made my first contact yeaterday for 15 years. I became deaf over night and immediately packed up Amateur Radio. One year ago I decided to try and start again and bought the K2 kit, with all the accessories (except Transeverters). My first contact was pre-arranged, one hour before a Contest, and was reasonable easy to do. The Contest had a different result - I made 5 contacts in 4 hours, well 3 actually as I packed up in the middle for a rest. I carried out this exercise by (a) feeling the vibration from a L/S and (b) trying to read a light from my Son of Zero Beat. Both systems (light and vibration) have their problems and I shall be trying to improve on both of them. Help has been offered by members of this Net and I would like to thank you all for this. I would like to give something in return - I have produced a memory card for remember the function of the various buttons on the K2. If any one wants a copy please e-mail my and I will send to you.
