2011 ARRL Straight Key Night
Better late than never! After being a ham since 1966 at age 13 in Chicago, this is my first SKN. I made 11 QSOs with half of them on 30 meters. It reminded me of the days being a novice CW operator again and with Morse code it made me feel like one of the original text messengers. SKN afforded me the chance to my favorite activity: ragchewing on CW and reminded me of my first coveted ham radio certificate: the RCC as WN9STI. For sure I will do SKN in 2012, send in a log, get my soapbox comments in earlier, and perhaps start thinking about putting together a vintage station.
