01/02/2007 | K5HK I didn't have much time to operate this year but managed to get on the final hour with my Elecraft KX1 on internal battery power at 1w into a 40M verticale delta loop antenna and a "Telegrapica Llave" made in Spain straight key from Reno, NV. The best fist worked was W1QG/Dick in Saratoga Ca. who used a brass key of some sort and a 50w homebrew tranceiver. It's always a lot of fun and I use straight keys year round here so keep them exercised OT. -- K5HK
