This is my first log after getting back into ham radio.  I was away for far too long.  My first qso was with Bill in Norwalk CA which is about 20 miles from my home.  I was real excited to get VE7ONX during the RAC contest.  Also really liked my qso with N1FN in Aurora, CO.   My first few contacts were using my SW40+ from Small Wonder Labs.  It is a 2W rig on 40m only.  Then, starting on Dec 24th, I began using my Elecraft K1.
