01/03/2004 | KB3HJQ This was my first real attempt at SKN, and what a blast. Had QSO's with some of the nicest ops and some of the very best straight key ops anywhere. Fingers still have the blisters, but well worth it. Looking forward to many more SKN's. Also, many thanks to two of my elmers, Jim WA3YLQ for making SKN special, and Chip N3IW for keeping me away from that dreaded paddle. Thanks to all the ops I worked for putting up with my FIST. 73 de Chuck -- KB3HJQ
