01/06/2006 | WB8LZG Great SKN this year! Has to be one of the more delightful radio events ever! It was wonderful to hear 40 meters so packed, even up into the novice band. I could hardly find an unoccupied freq. Heard many fine fists out there this year. ( es a few lousy ones too. Hi Hi) I only had 6 QSO's, But the last one with Joe WA4GZN was the best. I started the QSO with an old Bunnell J-38, then switched to a WWII German Luftwaffe Key. He gave me a real chuckle when he said "hope I can copy german,es my key didn't have much of an accent!" Hi Hi Almost fell out of my chair laughing. Joe also gets my " best fist" vote too. A very nice relaxing way to ring in the new year. See u all next SKN. 73 Gregg -- WB8LZG
