Re: [Elecraft] 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: [Elecraft] SKN Results
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.
