POTA with a Straight Key! |

[@MyHamRadioJourney]

Im going to have to get a straight key. Bands are really bad right now. Thanks for sharing. 73s

[@KYFriedHam]

I enjoy using a straight key much more than paddles to be honest...I'd recommend it to anyone! Yeah, the bands are awful, but I'll take it since we got some amazing aurora down here in KY last night.

I’ve never seen anyone do a long complete act using a sk. Good job 👍🏼

[@KYFriedHam]

I've done a few. I enjoy the original key types more than paddles. Look for a bug and vote activation sometime soon!

Thanks Klaus! I LOVE using a straight key and honestly I should use it more for POTA. I just got my first bug and cootie, so expect to see those soon! 73 de KO4TFE

[@KYFriedHam]

Thanks Pete! When I'm home I almost exclusively use a straight key or more recently, a bug. I really enjoy all the "original" key types! 73 de KO4TFE!
