ARRL Straight Key Night 2009

This is my video of my ARRL Straight Key Night(day) experience. It's all about morse code, old tubes that GLOW, chirps, keys, paddles, some of my QRP rigs and lots of on the air CW.

Thanks for taking the time to make a GREAT Video on SKN. I too had a great time operating my first SKN and worked 3 stations running 40 watts with Drake T4x and R4C. Fun to slow down and feel the moment. Again thanks. Bob

Wow, a fantastic way to show the fun of SKN! I'll have to make sure I get my boat anchors on the air this year ... I missed last year. 73 es CUL de KY4Z

Good for Peanut! Love your videos. I grew up in CO and still miss the mountains. Going to get at least my Technician license this year and learn to pound brass. Thanks!

My first (Novice) rig was a 'Johnson Viking Adventurer'' I learned the hard way not to reach across the plate cap on that 807..'Zap-Sizzle-Ouch' I was quite proud to receive my 15 WPM (W1AW) endorsement sticker. I tried to get my Extra class ticket, but never managed to pass the 20 WPM code test requirement. If I remember rite, the tests were given on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays at the (Dirksen Federal Building) in Chicago. Thanks for the memories...73's WB9RTZ. Freddie

Enjoyed the viedeo. I used 'pause' to check out the great collection of keys and rigs, commercial and handmade. Wish I had never sold my KW TS-820S. Will go on the fav. list, de WD8IOL James

[@1903A3shooter]

Then why are you watching. Why not try to find something you can do besides rain on someone's parade.

[@choppergirl]

I think the the only thing slower, more usless, and more boring, is communication via smoke signals. Or semaphor. Maybe time for you guys to upgrade your communications to wired gigabit ethernet.

[@Isochest]

No way! Communication from first principles!

[@munichman1968]

This is seriously coll, Steve!!!
