Well, I did it! I worked Straight Key Night for the first time ever. I used a 1956 Vibroplex Presentation and it was a lot of fun.
I should have known better, but I've been thinking I'm kind of an old salt now, after having been a ham for 25 years, but the one SKN QSO I made was with Keith, W9KGY, who has been a ham since the '40's, and it turned out to be a rag chew. This was a great QSO. I haven't operated CW much in the past 24 3/4 years, but I'm going back to it -- if I can get past the "key fright", HI!
So, I guess my vote for best fist, most interesting QSO, and most fun would have to go to W9KGY.
