The 1Watter

There are currently only 2 in the universe.  And they have been talking to each other.  Soon there will be more.  Many more.

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. 

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. :-) 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....
