Had loads of fun as usual. SKN is must event for me. Where else do you get a license to chirp? Ran the T-22/ARC-5 again this year on 40M along with either the big brass Kent or the Navy flame proof key from my novice days. Monday afternoon was the Knight T50's turn on 20M. Receiving was handled by a recently restored Drake R-4B. The unique tone of the ARC-5 attracted quite a few return calls and I thoroughly enjoyed each QSO. Thanks to all who called me. Most impressive of all was the sheer population of the bands. All kinds of fists and tones filled the CW segments. It was like being in a 1950's or 1960's time warp! -- AE6C
