Now you're talking. This is the only coRntest I participate in. My whopping 5WPM sending & receiving on a Radio Shack straight key shore do frustrate. :)

That picture is obviously faked. She's not using the Model 15, she's sending on the bug!

Hell. I took my code test in January, 1979. I don't even remember the code anymore.
I got 115 Q's in the contest, and a claimed score of 23,458 points. I did get AK and HI and St/ Croix for my US contacts. Noise was hell here between S5 and S7. So many stations I knew i could pull out if I didn't have the damned noise. I was strictly on 15M. But, it's a way to pass away half of the holiday weekend.
Just especially for the contest, I built a K5RP antenna for 15 and mounted it for horizontal polarization. (So it looks like a vertical antenna) Never used one before. It seemed to work out okay. I made a few contacts. Next year I am gonna have a monster quad up 500 feet and a QRO amp driven by an FT-DX9000. Oh yeah. I'm dreaming.
Well I plum forgot about the coRntest anyway. I guess my next chance to pound brass (or the cheap, Chinese equivalent) will be on Straight Key Night.
160 Meter contest this coming weekend (CW Only), 10 Meter the weekend after (CW & SSB). No need to have to wait for SKN.
Grab another beer, strap on your Chinese brass ones, and go have fun. Or not. Up to you.
