Gang,

I and Diz have been playing on 20m with 1W.
OK, I’ve been playing. Diz has been working night
and day.

He has a kit coming out in two weeks or so. Don’t rush
him. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

He has S\/N 0001 and I have S\/N 0002. These are the
only two 1Ws in the Universe. Yesterday (local time)
but 0000UTC today, I went to the lab to put a WWV
atomic clock above the desk for logging purposes.
I turned on the rig to listen while I put the screw into
the side of the shelf to hang the clock on. No warmup
drift. I’m tuned to 14.059MHz, the freq both Diz I start
out on and low and behold I hear him calling CQ. I pound
the paddle to call him and he went back to AF5XF in NTX.
Darn.

At 0031UTC I call him and I get a 229 and later a 339 and
he was a 539 here in AZ. So all the 1Ws in the Universe
have talked to each other. \ud83d\ude42 The race is on, when and if
you get one to work us all. Or work us with the rig of your
choice and the power level of your choice…. <\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
