01/11/2004 | K9VKY Though short on the number of QSOs (22), SKN 2004 was no exception for a wonderful time. Using 52 year old glow-in-the-dark equipment and the J-38 once owned by my mentor, W9FUF, quality made up for the lack of quantity. Several contacts passed the one hour mark, and the last contact of 2+ hours went "overtime" well after SKN had officially ended. Brasspounders K9LA and AA1A proved one doesn't have to send slowly to send well. Here's looking forward to similar contacts throughout the year and not just on SKN. -- K9VKY
