This was the 19th straight year I have participated in SKN....What fun....I have improved my sending with a Bug tremendously over the past 5 years or so thanks to our Sunday Night CW nets here on the West Coast...

This year I switched around between the following Vibroplex bugs pictured in the attached photo:  From left to right:  1949 Presentation; 1926 Nickel plated Original; 1965 Blue Racer; 1951 Zephyr; and my gold plated triple key.  Dates based on WW7P survey of serial numbers and manufacturing dates...

Except for lousy band condtions caused by being at the bottom of the solar cycle, it was great fun with plenty of stations to work...

Hope to cu all again next year..
