I made it a point to get on the air this SKN with my HW-7 that I purchased from Paul, W0RW, earlier this year. I made a few modifications to it but never got around to the all important RIT function. If I did I would had not needed to rely on crystals for transmit frequency, The HW-7 will transmit without crystals but there is no off-set so you will not hear the other station if they zero beat you.

Regardless, I had a blast pushing almost a watt out to a dipole. I managed to make three QSOs.
