[Elecraft] Signals wild...signals caged

[Bill Frantz]

If you want to relive the "good old days", get on the air on 
Straight Key Night. It's a much better way to spend New Years 
Eve than drinking.

People bring out all kinds of old equipment and put it on the 
air. I have an entry in my log for a QSO with AE6C with the 
note, "SKN: running conar 1 tube to kpa500 + collins rx". And he 
sent me a old QSL to match, with a much younger photo of 
himself. The Conar was not not worth the 578 I gave him for 
tone, but charity is a virtue.

I was running my K3 with a J-38 straight key. Maybe I should 
have used my RockMite.
