Happy New Year from the Dominican Republic! SKN from HI7/N2CQR


As you guys know, here at SolderSmoke we are all about tradition.  Things like homebrewing, thermatrons,  crystal radios,  April 1, and even (at least once a year), MORSE CODE.   This morning was the morning for morse.  Straight Key Night my friends.  I got on the air with a QMX transceiver that my friend Bob had given me, and with a Sankar VU3XVR key that Farhan gave me a few years ago.  It all worked great.  First contact was with DF0W, then in quick succession WA3KCP, K3CQR, and K4DY.  All 5W 20 meter CW with a 1/4 wave vertical.  TRGHS. FB. HNY!

2 days of RBN spots, QMX barefoot to vertical at HI7/N2CQR
