    Had a great time operating vintage key and equipment during this year's SKN. 11 QSOs, most being ragchew style. It was great hearing all the chirpy, whoopy, buzzy signals on the band, in addition to the unmistakable straight key fists. Even some nic... Read More

    01/02/2009 | N8QE

    My CW may be a bit rusty and slower, but I enjoyed making CW contacts New Years day on 40 meters. Brings back the memories when I was first licensed as a Novice back in Western PA in 1966-1967 as WN3FNT. Lots of grey hair on the top of my head now, but... Read More
