2010 SKN was a memorable experience. My station consisted of a homebrew 6C4 crystal oscillator driving a 6AQ5 amplifier to 5 watts and a HT-18. The receiver was a SX-99 and the key was a MacElroy chrome top and black tear drop base. The backup recei... Read More

The Driver is a 12BY7 and the final section has two 6146B tubes. I used two hand keys during the event : A Hi-Mound HK-705 purchased from Morse Express and a small... Read More
