Enjoyed SKN again as usual even through limited time this year.  SKN continues to be my favorite event despite only getting to work 5 stations.  Lots of other good fists and great rigs heard as well.

I used my Flex 6300 (Heathkit AT-1 wouldn't fly alas)j with a Little Russian Leg Strap Straight Key.  Most interesting QSO was with K9WWT/George who is an old Navy buddy of mine for 1966-68 when we were station at Naval Security Group Activity Galeta Island, Panama Canal Zone together and operated KZ5NG the Navy club station there.   He was using a J-38 key and also was best fist hear/worked this year.
