01/18/2006 | WB9DLC I was only able to operate on-and-off during the SKN period with a late start. I used my vintage station with a Knight T150 transmitter and a Hammarlund HQ170A receiver. Most often crystal controlled but sometimes used my "slightly unstable" VFO. I used my Bunnel J38-like straight key.


These were all great QSOs! Since I was running the vintage gear, I enjoyed the vintage gear QSOs the most. Here's a list of them:

W0NTA wth the great DX60 and Drake 2B combo // N0WVA with his homebrew 1 watt xmtr. // K1DC with that 1934 Collins 30-FX transmitter and Hallicrafters SX-24 rx. // KC2AIO with his grandfather's telegraph key // WD8OCV with the HW101 // WA8QNN using an Eico 723 crystal controlled and a Drake R4. // WD0K using his classic TS520

SKN has become my favorite on-air-event. I can't wait till next year. Thanks for all of the great QSOs
