Will I be in radio contact with him? Does it matter?

At our untowered airport, my CFI borrowed my handheld radio to talk to
my for the first solo. We just used the CTAS. As I climbed off the
runway, he radio'd "How does it feel?" I later think he expected me
to say "climbs fast" or "feels great" or something... but all I could
blurt out in reply was "Lonely !!" He paused and came back with
"Yeah. I bet."

As others have said, that's the point that it really hits you that
there's no one to save your butt except yourself. So you just do what
you trained for, and all goes well.

In fact, I made my three best landings ever, up to that point. When
I commented on that, he said "Yeah, being alone the first time really
makes you focus, doesn't it? grin"
