Hi, Keith,
Yes, us "E's" have to hang together. Maybe we need an "echo club" or
a "worked all echoes" award? hi
It seemed that a lot of people (most?) didn't bother to call CQ SKN.
I did, some of the time. You could pretty well tell that there was a
lot more straight key activity than usual even without the "SKN".
I'd be happy to QSO any time.
