Enjoyed bouncing back and forth between 80 meters and the Pacific Northwest VHF Society SKN activity on 2 meters.

Straight Key Night never fails to charm. The good fellowship, perfect courtesy, and an eclectic mix of keys and old and new gear makes for a delightful experience. I was only able to get on for a few hours on New Year's Day and never got off of forty m... Read More
