It's kinda strange but it's 2021 not too many people use straight keys anymore. Yeah not a contest or points just having fun. Hope anybody that got on the air had fun and Happy New Year.
...a straight key organization i like is the SKCC https://www.skccgroup.com/index.php, which hold their fun 'K3Y' event each January 2 thru 31:
Made my first SKCC contact this morning with K0RO operating as K3Y/5. Kudos to Ralph for being able to decipher my SK enigma code. I suppose a clean sweep of the continental US regions is my next goal.
A little late for strait key night. That happened eight months ago. Not the best with a strait key but as long as dementia doesn't show up I don't need a decoder. Besides, decoders don't do well with strait key sending or with the majority of the fists you hear on the band these days. The old nuggin is still the best cw decoder ever invented.
