01/29/2009 | KI6ZX I have participated in SKN several years now and enjoy it more than any other contest. It is so relaxed! This year I used my Knight T-60 transmitter and the HB-QST Neophyte direct conversion receiver. The transmitter was crystal controlled as in the past. I also used the Heath HW-16 for a real chirpy experience. Boy, that rig of mine needs some work! Gives me something to work on for next year. I used a cheap straight key this year, but in the past I have used my MecaGraph 1908 bug. I managed to work 13 stations. My special thanks to w6bo and n6bob for a threeway in the contest. 73's and hope to CU next year. -- KI6ZX
