[Elecraft] Elecraft-Free Straight Key Night

2017-01-12 Thread gliderboy1955 via Elecraft
I want to publicly congratulate myself for operating SKN this year with only my 
souped up HW-16 and box-stock HG-10 VFO.  Usually I get frustrated with the 
boat anchors and go Elecraft at some point.
The dark K-line called, all right. 
"Isn't that chirp a bit embarassing?"  
"How long has it been since you had to listen to more than one CW signal at a 
time?  Not easy anymore, huh."  
"It's a tad rude to drift into another QSO, don't you think?"
"Hey, I wonder what's happening 10 KHz up?  I'd be happy to show you."
The dark K-line was always polite.  Always ready to help.  Always ready to cool 
off the shack.  Kind of Jeeves-like, but with a mixture of Eric and Wayne's 
voices.
I resisted for the first time since K3 #2545 came into my life.

[Elecraft] Elecraft Free - Straight Key Night

2017-01-12 Thread Jan

Well, I declare ~ with a Navy "flame-proof" key
the only reason to participate in SKCC & K3Y events
is to SEE how ell the 5W KX3 will do ~ yes. it's a challenge

Last year I did WAS and so did W8RP (pictured on QRZ)
and in the last three years of the K3Y ~ January event ~
managed a clean-sweep with just an open-wire fed dipole
THANKS to all the operators at the other end; great hobby !

Cheers, Jan K1ND  (ex-Trustee of W8RP)
