2011 ARRL Straight Key Night

01/08/2011 | KW6G

 Where did 2010 go?  Seems like the last SKN was just a few weeks ago, and here we are celebrating the new decade already!  

I worked 20 stations this year, although band conditions seemed to be rather poor even though more sun spots seemed to be poking through than last year.  Stuck mainly to 40 meters, but added a few QSO's on 80 and 20 this year.

Last year, I bought myself a Vibroplex Original Deluxe bug for Christmas.  I practiced off and on all year, and gave a whirl here on SKN.  Great success!  I have been hamming since 1971 and had always wanted to become proficient at using a bug.  Now I can say that I am at least somewhat proficient at using one!!  HI.....

Thanks to all of you who took the time to copy my signals.  Looking forward to QSOing everyone again next year.
