[Elecraft] SKN 2012

[stan levandowski]

I've got a homebrew 6C4 driving a 5763 to 8 watts input *somewhere* 
around 7.028  +/- the drift ;) but my K2 is my receiver for tonight and 
the T/R relay is Phil Salas' AD5X version from an old QST.  We're 
definitely *not* talking QSK here, folks!!   Made one "warm-up" QSO 
today with KE3NE and realized the old fist just ain't what it used to be 
!!!  Happy New Year and Happy SKN.
