01/03/2007 | KD3JF I had a ball over the weekend using my straight key. Have not been able to find my key since I moved here. Guess it must be in a box. I was in Ohio for Christmas so got to thinking about SKN and quickly ordered a straight key from Marshall at Morse Express. With the snow storms in Colorado was not sure if Marshall could leave his home but he did and when I flew back to Maryland on Saturday I was able to pick up the straight key at the post office.

Had not use a straight key for 30 years but had no problem sending with my new key. It will be a while before I go back to a paddle I fear!! This is the first time I have participated in SKN.
