    First straight key contacts made since 1996 when I first got on the air. Managed to have five Qso's. I was amazed that anyone could copy my horrible fist. Need to spend a couple more years practising. I still have a dimple in my finger from trying to k... Read More

    The Lakes Area Amatuer Radio Club's second annual Kids Day operating event is now in the books. I don't yet have the official numbers, but they seemed a little lower than last year, probably due to the remarkably good weather we've been having. That be... Read More

    I only had time for two contacts, NS7K and KX0R, this year, but enjoyed them both. I also didn't get my old Globe Scout 65A an Hammarlund HQ140X on the air like I planned. The home brew key and WW2 bug did get a dusting off though. I am looking forward... Read More
