Oh what an education challenge this was.. I learned a lot as I looked thru codes etc. This is the card I made using the clues. On soft suede cs for the card, I took white cs and randomly chalked three soft colors, then ran it thru a cuttlebug folder. This may have produced gears and wheels but I was trying for nuts and bolts.. oh well just so it keeps turning right? Then I pulled my soft suede ink pad over the raised parts. I got my digi's from google search..lol and cut layed with punches and nesties. I believe the qrz means who is calling or is anyone answering and the dx was more complicated perhaps dealing with the next station standing by to transmit the signal or the distance the signal was to be translated..Yep..I failed the course!

You only think you failed the course, look at the awesome card you completed, so I say A+ and WTG!

Lol! What a face! Guess we all went to "Ham Radio School" via Google to see what this was all about- and your card is a rib-tickler! The vintage image is too cute. Love those gears too.
