I operated this 2023 SKN using my McElroy 1938 Deluxe bug, serial # 2199, a change from my usual Vibroplex bugs.  I made 71 SKN QSOs, with the following SK breakdown: 41 straight keys, 22 bugs, and 8 cootie keys.  For my SKN exchange, I gave the usual RST, name. and state along with my Straight Key Century Club (SKCC #2465S) and Bug Users Group (BUG #200) membership numbers.  My vote for Best Fist goes to K6JJR and most interesting QSO to W0CCA (using another McElroy 1938 Deluxe bug).
