Finished setting up my signalink, tuner, hung up my 20m dipole, and installed WSJT-X. Within a few minutes of scratching my head and mashing the keyboard, I worked this guy as my first digital contact:

trying to work as many as possible. It comes in waves, and the ones I least expect respond. Just worked Ont, CA for my first DX.

Try PSK31, a little bit faster and you can work DX too when propagation is right.

Congrats on first contact

I just spotted BD in the wild!

ETA: and I was so excited I tried to modify the message a bit from the norm and ended up screwing up his call. For shame.

We still had a good contact and it's in the log! The first of many, I hope!
