How very fun to get to do  2012 SKN.  I had just recently moved to Texas, into a very small house.  So, SKN was enjoyed via 35 watts into a G5RV hidden under the eaves due to antenna restrictions.  Happily, it worked and I enjoyed  meeting more of our great ham community members.  Now, 2013 SKN is out there so let's get ready!  Also, I send a  personal 73 to each you who so generously  and patiently encouraged me with my aging "fist".  Richard
