01/08/2004 | WB2AWQ SKN is the best way to kick off the new year! 6 great QSOs with terrific people - WB4FSF, W8LJ, W4VHH, K8TEZ, K3USA, and W1DV. Showed off a Swan 350 on 40 and 20 meters, and a homebrew Hartley oscillator build from 1921 QST, using a pair of UV202 tubes, coupled with a 1940 National HRO receiver. Keys used were an old Speed-X, and a WW2 Brelco flameproof key. -- WB2AWQ
