First QSO was liberia. Thats great telemark. I will see what I can find.
I've been looking for years for my first logbook. I hope I still have it now. I have all my others, but #1 is missing! I've moved 4 times since that first logbook, I hope I have it somewhere!

Last Man Standing: Tim Allen QSL
In Tim Allen's new series "Last Man Standing" they are working Ham radio into the show. Though Tim Allen isn't a ham (yet?) he plays one on the show. By sending one of your QSL cards to the Studio City address on the card below [no SASE] they'll send you a signed QSL card. It's clearly signed with a Sharpie but of course there's no way to tell if Tim Allen signed it.
His call KA0XTT has the experimental X in it so it is OK for a non-person. The zero is correct for Colorado and the "XTT" stands for ex-Tim Taylor.
Yeah, it's dumb, but I have 2 boys who like him.

So that's like 700 miles per watt, and on a short band! Cool!
Yup and that's with poor band conditions. I got another one on Sunday into Colorado running 5 watts. I really need to upgrade so i can get on 20-40 meters.
I didn't even have to look that one up, it's Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
I don't have any QSL cards from legitimate Hams because I don't work HF.
However, I did work 11 meters from 1973 to when I got my ticket in 1993, and I have 49 countries confirmed by QSL on 11 sideband.
I would have 50 if the guy in the Falkland Islands had sent one back to me.
I fondly remember the band openings in the late 80's, I used to talk to guys in Europe for hours at a time, just like an open party line.
When the sun went down, I'd spin the Jo Gunn around to the Southwest and talk to Australia, New Zealand and Tasmania for a few more hours.
I still have a big shoebox full of QSL's kicking around in the attic somewhere.
