01/21/2010 | K9SB Just love SKN, It gives me an excuse to fire up my old novice rig.
Hallicrafters HT-40 (50watts out)with HA-5 VFO, Drake 2B receiver with
2BQ multiplier ,12 volt Dow key relay, 1/4 wave 40mtr vertical. For it's time that Drake 2B was a real good CW receiver and it still is. Wish my modern gear had such pleasant sounding CW. This is real operating, getting your transmitter on freq. with the another station, operating the 12 volt T/R relay by hand, looking for off freq. siginals, and sending readable CW with that old speed-x key.
Stations worked W1TPB, VE3VAW, K3Y/4, WV8Z, W4UR, W6BNB-BEST FIST,
K3MSB, AJ1G/M1, KB8ERA. -- K9SB
