01/02/2008 | K5OPB Straight Key Night was so very meaningful as I celebrate 50 years as a Amateur Radio Operator. It brought back the memories of my first cw contact on my Heathkit DX-20 transmitter, and Hallicrafters S20R receiver. Many thanks to KJ7Z, Phil, for being an outstanding operator and avid ragchewer. His QSO made my SKN special.
