01/05/2010 | N8XE, K3Y/8 Another Straight Key Night has come and gone. It was fun as usual. Many great fists and some nice sounding old radios on the air. My first contact was with N8TI up in Michigan on my favorite band, 160M. Enjoyed a nice chat with him. Second contact was on 80 with KY4Z in Kentucky. It was pretty late so I decided to head to bed. The next morning I operated K3Y/8 for three hours and worked 29 contacts. Most were SKCC members. Afterwards, I just started calling CQ SKN and worked 6 more stations on 20M. My vote for best fist was Frank, KA4JQZ. I could copy his code all day. Also, N6KN's Collins S-Line was wonderful to listen to.

I used my HiMound HK-802, My 1936 Martin Junior, and my 1946 Blue Racer Deluxe (in the picture).
