2019 ARRL Straight Key Night

01/01/2019 | W2NTN

Happy New Year and thanks to all those who operated SKN!  I only worked a few stations, but it was enjoyable and rewarding.  My favorite was a contact with W0VLZ who spoke of his boat anchors.  My favorite signals were those with older equipent which pleased the ear with just a little chirp or the 'ol DIT DWAH DWAH sound. This year I used my Dad's (silent key) first key, which I believe is a Signal Electric Company key which I believe he used in around 1941.  I'll attach a picture for anyone interested.  Thanks again to all and enjoy the hobby!
