In anticipation of SKN, I tried unsuccessfully to find my straight key. While web surfing for a replacement, I found and fell in love with the beautiful LTA-CRVO straight key, handmade in Spain. I bought the last one.
SKN for me was everything it is w... Read More -

Although I really don’t like using straight keys, I break down and use one on Straight Key Night (SKN). This year’s SKN did not start out very auspiciously. After spraying some contact cleaner on the phone plug of my J-45 (which is a J-37 mounted on a ... Read More

Ran on 40 meters only for a total of two QSOs or all my glass arm could take. Running a half century old Western Union Telco key into my mint fresh Elecraft K3, mix of old and new. Had great chat with Neil KE5WIQ down in Texas. Thanks for sponsoring... Read More
