01/03/2005 | K2HT I used a loose old radio shack straight key. The key was left over from 1965 when my xyl gave me a bug for Christmas. After using that bad key for 7 hours I ordered a new speed-x with navy knob. I felt like SKN was a class reunion of hams who got started as teenagers and stayed with the hobby. All qso's were very enjoyable. See you next year with my new straight key. Dick K2HT -- K2HT
