01/03/2005 | K2JX SKN is a great event bringing out great operators, some running thier
vintage Amateur gear. I myself operated SKN 2004 with a J-38 key, a Johnson Viking II transmitter and a classic WW-2 rcvr the BC-348Q.
That night I relive my Novice days on 80 meters xtal controlled, unfiltered rcvr. As a Novice I only had a Viking Adventurer, I could not afford a Viking II & VFO. Many newer Hams I worked asked me what a BC-348 is ? Many others replied that " I used to have one too", sorry I sold all my "old" gear ! It's amazing how many really fine straight key 'op's there are out there !
73, cu next SKN ! -- K2JX
