What a great night and day.  For the first time I used a Heathkit HW-16 for the entire event, resisting the urge to use a modern rig when cdx were crowded.  This HW-16 was built and modified by my mentor W5NYT, and features a 2nd IF, 5 bands, linear keying, and other improvements.  The key was a 1958 Vibroplex Champion slowed down a bit with a Vari-eze and a Viz Vertical.

I heard many good fists, but the last QSO with AA4TB, Tommy, was very special.  He was not only the best fist I heard, but he was using an HW-9 so this was an all Heathkit QSO.  That was as common as an all-Elecraft QSO today once, but now it's very special.  Thanks, Tommy
