I got a chance to do some CW operating with my newly acquired Drake C-Line (T4XC & R4C).  I used a combination of keys:  a Army Signal Corps J48 Key, a Navy Flameproof Key, and a Vibroplex Bug.  This set up brought back a lot of fond memories of my Novice and General class days from the early 1970's.  The separate transmitter & receiver is definitely no plug and play rig; and you have to actually think when you have an analog dial (the rig was predigital readout).  

At any rate, had a great time and loved every minute of it; even though I did not have as much time as I would have liked to work stations.  Looking forward to next year already.

Happy New Year and 73's to all those who participated....
