I picked up a Vibroplex Original a few years ago, and despite my best efforts I became convinced that I'd never master it. After extended service as a paperweight in the shack, I dusted it off earlier this year and added a Vari-Speed. Darned if that wild beast didn't tame down a bit, enough to give me confidence to use it during SKN. It was an enjoyable way to spend part of my New Year's Eve and it was great to hear all of the activity on 40m early in the evening. Thanks to everyone who copied my rather rusty bug fist. I'll be more polished come SKN 2013!
