2011 ARRL Straight Key Night

01/04/2011 | K9ZTV

Wonderful event with great activityy this year.  Worked 14 stations using a Drake B-Line and a Morse Express 2006 Christmas Key.  Best fist goes to N0JBF who, with little more than a year's Morse Code under his belt, sent perfect code at 12 wpm although he can copy higher.

 

Highlights included N5RR reporting tornado damage near Branson, MO; K9TJL reporting a mutual friend and traffic handler (K9CNP) became a SK in December; worked WN9U who was using a Chinese HB1A QRP rig; worked N5DY who was using a WW-II Westclox key; worked long-time friend K9BGL;  worked 3 "Lees" in a row (WA0UIG, K9CM, K5LY); and managed to snare K6KPH to maintain a SKN tradition (even IF Denise Stoops was AWOL).

 

73 and HNY to all.  Kent Trimble, K9ZTV, Jefferson City, MO.
