2012 ARRL Straight Key Night
Had 11 QSOs and 2 grandkids sleeping over, so time was limited.
Worked the following: K0DTJ AI6U K6LQI WB6RBJ K2LMQ W7WE K6KPH K7FD K6BZZ WA7OET N7MOB/KH6 on 80, 40 and 20.
SKN is nostalgia, so I thought of the "4H Group" of the 1950s: Heathkit, Hallicrafters, Hammarlund and Homebrew. I used at least one of each, plus a Valiant and a Collns 75A4.
Heathkit: DX 100 Hammarlund: HQ 140X Hallicrafters: SX101, HT32, HA5 VFO and SX100 Homebrew: 6AG7/1625 75 watt transmitter from the 1962 ARRL Handbook.
About half the QSOs were with others using vintage equipment, and all sounded great. Nice to work K6KPH at the old Point Reyes station.
See you all next year!
