2012 ARRL Straight Key Night

01/02/2012 | WA0VQY

I always enjoy SKN.

The highlight for me was calling CQ on 20 meters during New Year's Day afternoon and hearing WA1VQY reply to me, WA0VQY.  I thought at first I was experiencing a long-delayed echo.

In over 43 years as a ham, this is only the second QSO I've ever had with another station which has the same suffix "VQY" as my call. 

I made SKN contacts on 80, 40, and 20 meters.  I really enjoyed all the first-rate cw being transmitted through the ether.  Hope to do it again next year.
