Hello,

Please see attachment:
We have a two identical keys of unknown origin at our coastal radio station musem, OXA /OZ1OXA .

(The original station was first operative in 1908 and the museum building is located at the Nyholm Naval facility in Copenhagen (www.oxa.dk), opem to visitors during the summer season.)

Can anyone identify this key as to origin and application?

Thanks in advance,

Henry F. M.,  OZ1UF-OU5T, Cph., DK

NAQCC Sprint Tuesday night!

This coming Tuesday evening will be the monthly NAQCC Sprint for August, 2009.

I will refer you to the proper URL:

http://www.arm-tek.net/~yoel/sprint200908.html

There you will find all the details as to time, frequencies and also a special prize.

This month's Special Award goes to the winner of a drawing among the following: The one making the highest score in each division and being the youngest or oldest participant. That's two drawings and two awards overall, one to the youngest and one to the oldest participant.

This is a monthly event that caters to the CW veteran, the CW newcomer, straight key and bug fans. All are welcome to participate (this includes QRO); but you must use QRP power levels to compete for awards.

Come join us and have a real good time!

Subject: [Fists] WAS on 17 Meters ?
Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.1.20090830230835.00bf3fc0@pop.rev.net>

Fellow FISTS Members:

Well, I did accomplish getting WAS on 30 Meters and have 
50 cards all from FISTS members.

So, I set myself a new challenge of getting WAS on 17 Meters 
again with all cards being from FISTS members.  Boy, I'm not 
sure this is going to be anywhere as possible as it was on 30.

So, far I have 23 states confirmed, but only 18 of them are with 
FISTS members.  I have worked FISTS members in 18 more 
states and sent them my QSL card and an SASE.

The 14 states I've not yet worked a FISTS member on 17 are:

	AK,  DE,  IA,  ID,  KY,  MD,  MN,

	MS,  NM,  NV,  PA,  SC,  VT,  WV

So, if you folks in those states hear me on 18.085 MHz please give 
me a call.

Thanks.

73, Stan - K4UK
