2016 ARRL Straight Key Night

01/01/2016 | K6CTW

Another enjoyable SKN even though conditions were not as good as hoped.

Had a super "bug" round-table with N6KIX, AI6U and K6LQ. 

Keys used this year:

Vibroplex Blue Racer and Lightnng

Western Electric, legless

Nye-Viking straight key with Navy knob

Rig was same as last year, Heathkit DX-60, homebrew DDS-VFO, B&W T/R Switch and Drake 2-B w/2-BQ

Most interesting was N6KIX's description of his find and use of a very early Vibroplex Double Lever bug.

Looking forward to next years event with maybe a new vintage rig.
