Greetings to All,
This year was my best SKN yet. I operated from a one room log cabin this is owned by a family friend. It was originaly built in the mid 1800's, then moved and rebuilt about 40 years ago.
My station that I used was a crystal controlled 6L6 OSC, a Heathkit Comanche receiver, and my old but trusty "Speed-X" straight key. The antenna is a random wire tuned by a home brew L-match. The whole thing runs about 8 watts output
The farthest qso was with N7IE out in Utah. The best fist I heard was NJ8BB.
Cant wait 'till next year!!!
