..My 23rd year of doing SKN... Once again truly enjoyable. This year, I was pleasantly surprised to work two German stations, both on Straight Keys.. that was a first for me, DX on SKN! I ran my trusty Nye Viking Master key, a gift from my son almost 20 yrs ago when he and I were racing to beat the other to the next license upgrade.

My vote for best fist has to go to WB8DQT on his Swedish Pump Key.. he  was running a homebrew two-tube QRP rig, one of the best I've heard on the air (absolutley solid, stable, clean signal!!) in some time.

..Made about 10 QSOs in all on 3 bands.
