Alice Castellano, KB2UQD passed her Extra class license exam last Friday, February 17th with a score of 100%. She is looking forward to getting on the air with the new K2 that Tony, WiZMB built and gave her. The first QSO that Tony made with this rig was ZK2C, Niue and the second was 9M2MRS, W. Malaysia using CW QRP and his OCF dipole. However, Tony built the K2 with a SSB option but refused to operate sideband, so he let Alice make the first SSB QSO with Julian, WA2WMJ.
