Well, for those of you who have never tried SKN, it is a real kick. Getting
into rag chews with a bunch of guys using straight keys--while it may sound
rather boring--can be very enjoyable.
I recently acquired an Omni D/C for $290 (with IF filters) to compliment my
Omni V. For SKN, my idea is to round up my various straight keys--I think
I've got five or six--and get one QSO with each. Trouble is, I don't know
if I should split the keys between the rigs, or get one QSO with each key
with each rig. Oh, the troubles of life!
BTW, the Omni D/C is a fine CW rig--very nice QSK.
See you guys on the 31st.
