Once again I enjoyed using my 100 year old key from a depot of the Canadian National Railroad which was given to me over 50 years ago and used off and on by me all these years. I used a new antenna setup this year. I used my old Hy-Tower vertical for transmitting but used either a 6 meter dipole or a MFJ loop for receiving which gave me a much better receive signal to noise ratio than the vertical.

My favorite contact was with N5AF and his Heathkit AT1. It seemed like old times to need to wait 15 seconds between transmit and receive.

Looking forward to next SKN
