WB5CKO, Don, asked for some help getting the top 10ft section added to his tower. After listening to all the guys on the “Liars Club” net tease and poke at me about being scared in a 15ft tree, I decided to redeem myself by climbing a tower for the first time ever. Three hours and a sun burn later hopefully I’ve gained a little respect……..

I took my General Exam on April 4th, 2009. After passing I got home as soon as I could to begin making contacts on with my newly added “/ag”. I started off about 12pm on 40m with a single ham-stick about 20ft up. I couldn’t find anyone on 40m so I moved up to 20m where I found two gentlemen that could hear me on 14.29khz, N6ECE and KC6SFG. I later found out that these guys are regulars on 20m. It was nice to have my first QSO with N6ECE “Earl”, located in Los Angles California. After this contact I was inspired to create a QSL card… what do you think?
