I'm going to try and remember this year. If I do, I'll be using a one of a kind key that I machined myself before I retired. Similar to a McElroy stream key but a solid teardrop of brass with a solid copper arm. I melted old relay contacts and formed my own new contacts. Thanks for the reminder.

I’ll be using my KN4YB DL150RA bug tonight.  And working any SKCC members I can.  I might pound the J-38, too but not likely …   ;)

I will be on 7.040 tonight running 2.5 Watts from a QRP transmitter than I built.  I will be using a CC Skywave SSB as a receiver.  I live in central, Kentucky.  If you hear my signal, give me a call!  73!
