2004 ARRL Straight Key Night

I only managed to make it on the air for 3 SKN QSOs but I had a lot of fun.
I used my Elecraft K1 at 5 watts and a Swedish Army Key that was given to me by some Swedish friends as a gift.
There were a few stations operating at 20 wpm who sounded like W1AW code practice, then there was the rest of use who don't normally use a straight key struggling along at 10 or 15wpm generating lots of choppy sounding code ;-) .
I only wish this event happened more than once per year.
