As always SKN was a blast! I was running one of my vintage stations: My TX was a Knight T-50 XTAL control @ 45 watts, the RCVR a Hallicrafters SX-100, the antenna an 80 meter triangular loop fed with 450 ohm ladder line to a 275 watt Johnson Matchbox. My straight key was a circa 1880 Lewis key made by Western Electric in Chicago. I QSOd four different stations on 40 meters during my limited time on the air: WB0SWO (Dennis), W0TUP (Nels), KA8VIT (Bill) and AA9DH (Bob). All of them had SUPERB SK fists! Gary -- WN9U
