Due to work commitments, this was a very short SKN. I made three QSOs and used one key.
The Brown Bros. CTL-B key at the left was purchased new by me in 1975, direct from the factory. Its been my favorite key ever since. While not as cosmetically ... Read More -

Made a couple of QSO's on New Years Day. Could not let the day go by without at least taking part a small bit. Was on 40 meters with my HW-101, vertical, and Allied Radio hand key from 1969. Good to hear all the signals Tuesday morning on 40.

Another Straight Key Night and lot's of fun and heavy QRM on 40m!
This year I put the two ARC-5's I've restored and updated over the last few months on the air for the event. They worked great.
The one on the left is a T-19/ARC-5 the 80m version, the o... Read More -

What a great experience! SKN brings back the excitement for me from 1954, 54 years ago. Great thrill to work so many old timers and hear the great fists with a straight key. Also enjoyed working the Johnson Viking IIs and the Drake Twins. This was a... Read More
