FB fist Jim! It's a lot of fun listening to others QSO's. Pulled that guy out of the mud for sure. Gotta love CW for giving you every chance to make positive contact. 73.
Thank you, it is a beauty! Steve, W1SFR makes wonderful keys. I believe he stopped using a stone base and is now selling this key with a shiny metal base with the name "Titan". You can see Steve's keys here: w1sfr.com/
SV3IRG, thank you very much. Steve W1SFR makes wonderful torsion-bar keys. This one is a real beauty and a joy to use. And I love my old Ten-Tecs 🙂. The Triton is a wonderful 100 watt rig. Easy to use and need I mention the silky-smooth QSK 👍
Thank you John. The SKCC has an awards program that allows you to progress to Centurian then Tribune and finally Senator. The "T" at the end of my number indicates that I am a Tribune with the SKCC. Senator is next. You can read more about the SKCC award program here: www.skccgroup.com/operating_awards/centurion/

Thank you. When you put in all that work, it feels great when you can make the QSO happen. And this beautiful torsion-key was a pleasure to use.
Thanks for the listen in. Just visited your QRZ page. Nice! Blessing Bro and thanks for your service!
Yes, that QSO was a tough one! But the tougher they are, the more fun! Take care, de W6JIM
Wow, Jim, you really had to work hard on that one! Thanks for posting!
Hello Stan. It is more difficult, but that just makes it more fun. Many of my QSOs are with weak signals. Sometimes it's that or nothing at all 🙂.
Beautiful key

What a great combo Jim. I forgot what antenna you are using
Hello Jay. My antenna is a Cushcraft MA5B. It's a small beam. The longest element is just 17 ft. Nice little beam!
Thank you. 73
Thank you for visiting Peter 👍
Only straigt key can do the last dah nicely longer 😊
I like that too!
Thank you for the realism! What does the alphanumeric (T) after the SKCC number mean? e.g. 15169T? Not all have this.
