2012 SKN prove more active due to better band conditions than last year allowing me to make contacts on 5 different bands. Used IC706MKIIG & Drake 2NT/2C rigs for variety. I did notice quite a few Straight Key Century Club stations on the air supporting this event which is in line with them supporting the mechanical reproduction of CW. Lots of great stations heard this year. Please keep this event on the calendar & I'll see you next year! 73, Jim
