If you want to relive the "good old days", get on the air on
Straight Key Night. It's a much better way to spend New Years
Eve than drinking.
People bring out all kinds of old equipment and put it on the
air. I have an entry in my log for a QSO with AE6C with the
note, "SKN: running conar 1 tube to kpa500 + collins rx". And he
sent me a old QSL to match, with a much younger photo of
himself. The Conar was not not worth the 578 I gave him for
tone, but charity is a virtue.
I was running my K3 with a J-38 straight key. Maybe I should
have used my RockMite.

In fact -- trust me on this one -- RST reports haven't always
ended with a dependable "9." I once gave out an RST of 332.
I'll never forget that poor soul's chaotic whoop, best
described as a singular blend of yodel and kazoo.
