01/06/2009 | K5YAA Some FB SKN QSOs again this new year. Stayed on 40 meters where the sounds of many straight keys were in the air. Some great story telling along the way and a real variety of brass pounding devices. 2009 is my 50th year in the hobby. No better way to start it than with some SKN CW to remind me of those early years when every QSO had the sound and feel of the SKN QSOs I made this year. -- K5YAA
