2016 ARRL Straight Key Night
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.
