Re: SKN Results

It really was nice to hear all the SKN activity.

I made seven QSOs, all on 40m, with a WWII-vintage J-45 (a J-37 key
mounted on a leg clamp). Boy, that leg clamp is tight. Guys back in
the 30s and 40s must have had small legs, is all I can say. :)

73!

RE: SKN Results

In reply to this post by N2EY

SKN at KE6US:

QSOs: Worked 8 total, 7 on the Novice portion of 40m New Years Eve and one
the next afternoon on 20m.

Rig: Drake 2-NT and 2-B. First QSO with modified Siltronix CB VFO. I got a
595C signal report! I had to look it up! I thought it was the model of the
rig the guy was using. Retired the VFO and hooked the K2 back up as my VFO
for the 2-NT. Clean reports.

See it at:

http://www.ke6us.com/boatanchors.htm showing the K2 lash-up

http://www.ke6us.com showing the Siltronix VFO which is back on the bench
for now.

Antenna: G5RV on 40, TH7DX @ 60' on 20

Key: Speed-X

No. of Elecraft rigs worked: None, but 7 of those contacts are scratching
their heads over "DRAKE 2NT WID K2 VFO".

It was great to hear CW on the Novice portion. Usually it is completely dead
up there.
