2012 ARRL Straight Key Night
After frantically searching a very messy shack for the coveted Admy. Patt. No. 7681 KEY (left in the photo), it was discovered in box of radio paraphrenallia that was used for a mobile operation on Signal Hill to mark the 110th anniversary of Marconi's experiment during our GB2GM/VO1MRC operation 12 December. History was alive on SKN too as we exchanged messages with and about keys from well back in the previous century, like the bug used by VO1AA in 1949 (right). SKN brings back many memories and is a great way to usher in a new year. Thanks to all the FB OM who were patient with my QSD from time to time! 73 ES GL. HNY!
