2009 ARRL Straight Key Night

No photos this year, just comments. I worked five or six stations on SKN on both 8 and 4 and as usual had fun with my straight key.
Every year I remember how I use to send greater than 16 WPM on a straight key and copy greater than 21 WPM on a Royal 44manual typewriter back in the mid 70's as a Navy Radioman onboard USS Racine LST-1191.
I even got Tom N6AJR to tune up for a QSO this year as well as Jerry KG6TT, both good friends that know there way around a radio shack.
Happy New Year! May we enjoy an ever increasing number of sun spots in 2009! -- KD6WKY
