It was Great to work my 1st Au last evening.. I had heard beacons 
before..and had done it on 10M years ago.. I worked W7KNT DN26 on SSB 
then started hearing the CW signals come up!  My old 660 does not work 
on CW.. so used WSJT to work W7CE CN87 so I imagine I sounded a lil 
goofy as I did not know when to stop the Tx ! (plus the XYL was yakking 
at me in the shack at the time..'Audio Distortion'?) LOL
 So.. I hooked up a 670 I was planning on selling..to see if it worked 
with the keyer in the CW Mode.. Yep ! Managed to work W7MEM DN27, K7CW 
CN87, VE5UF DO61 and KE7V CN88 on CW Au..! No New Grids.. but a Fun way 
to try just one more mode of prop !
I just may keep that old 670...  !
I learned New math as well.. Au / E = Zero ! Looking forward to the DX  
start ! So far.. only VE, US and XE on 6M.. I think my first JA or EU.. 
whatever.. will feel like my first contact on 2M EME!
CU on the 'Magic Band' Soon.. and weekend off work for the June 
Contest.. I will be QRV !
6M, 2M and 70cm..
