2011 ARRL Straight Key Night

01/09/2011 | K8UC

For the 3rd year in a row I used a key made from a McDonald's coffee cup lid.  Last year I made a weight from a piece of 2-1/2 pipe coupling that fits down oner the lid. This sure helped.  The contacts for the key are made from brass shim stock.  There were a lot of very nice fists on the air. Thanks to all of you guys that I worked who were patient enough to put up with my sloppy sending!  Also tnx to K8MSC and KT4H for the nice qsl cards.  73.  Curt, K8UC
