Who says I didn't?  But not on HF -- unless you count 27.125 MHz.

I've got one and only one QSL card. I'd thrown a transmitter together from
scrap I found in the desert including salvaged wire from an old wiper
motor and 12 gauge shotgun shells for coil forms, glass and aluminum foil
caps. I think the closest I came to real components was a FET from
RatShack. I was in Why, AZ and managed to hook up with a ham in Vegas. He
said I was coming in 5 by 5 but was drifting. I thought to myself 'if only
you could see the pile of junk I'm using for a transmitter.'
