2005 ARRL Straight Key Night
01/04/2005 |
W9AVM
Old W.E. straight key; probably $5 ; Old W.E. headphones; probably
$2.... Exchanging memories on SKN; PRICELESS...
Another long-awaited SKN. I enjoyed 16 SKN qso's using the old
W.E. pole-changer key with the IC-746. Best fist would have to go to Bill, W9ZN and most interesting qso to Malcolm, NX8K. All were great contacts. Average age was 60; average years being a ham, 30.
Next year my goal is to use vintage equipment; It would make the
contacts even more memorable. I sure don't like to see CW going by the wayside. It's been my "second language" for over 50 years. Keep the frequencies "purring" with that "beautiful music".
See you next time. What was the date for the June SKN again..??
Just kidding. But that would be nice.
Dad would have enjoyed SKN. 73, jim, the 2nd W9AVM -- W9AVM
