01/05/2008 | VE3WMB As usual SKN was a blast. I only had time for 3 SKN QSOs, but they were all very enjoyable. The bonus was snagging my good friend Ken, WA8REI just as he was finishing up another SKN QSO on 40M. Ken and I had a really fun QSO. Not only did I torment him with my straight key sending using my Cold War Era Swedish Army key, for fun I switched back and forth between my 1948 Eddystone Bug and a rather nice little Vibroplex Blue Racer Standard (circa 1958) that I picked up at a fleamarket this past fall. What a great way to start the new year!

Happy New Year to all and see you next SKN
