2016 ARRL Straight Key Night

01/02/2016 | AA4Q

Again this year, my goal was to make 1 QSO with each key in the collection. I guess the fact that it was a real challenge means my collection is growing.

16 Keys, made the first 8 QSOs on 40 thursday night, the remaining 8 on 20 friday afternoon.

Conditions were not too good. I had long dry spells of no one answering my CQ. Used the FT-1000 at 50W and stealth wire verticals on push up fiberglass poles for all QSOs.
