2012 ARRL Straight Key Night

01/03/2012 | K9VKY

Another great time was had with SKN, and band conditions were excellent.  Though only a handful of stations were worked, each QSO was memorable and most flirted with an hour or more in duration.  Vintage gear and keys appeared to be the norm this year, and it was fun swapping stories about the "old days".   The PRC-1 spy radio soldiered on again this year with its 15 watts to the CF Zepp.  The receiver lacks a bandspread and any sort of selectivity, but solid signals under good conditons made up for that.  Cheers to all, and we'll see you next year.  Brian K9VKY
