2012 ARRL Straight Key Night

01/11/2012 | K2RP

 

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!
