01/05/2006 | W1TPB I always look forward to SKN. I use a key with a sounder that is over 90 yrs.old. It belonged to a family friend who was a U.S.N. radioman in WW1 & WW2. My wrist does get tired now. My most intersting QSO was with W8YRB who was using 2 1901 pennies soldered to paddles for a key. Best fist was W4ARM,smooth and steady. K5AVJ sent me a photo of his ancient bug. I don't make a lot of contacts but sure have long ones. I'm attaching a photo of my key. (If my MAC lets me). 73, W1TPB Ted -- W1TPB
