Happy New Year to all.

I bought a J38 key at the Milton, Florida hamfest in July of 2012.

I was not able to be on the air last night due to company, but I hope 
to make at least one contact using that key sometime today.

I still have a soft spot for the old Yaesu FT7. I ran one for 20 
years.

Just had a successful straight key night QSO somewhere on 80 meters. 
(don't
ask me where)  I fired up the old Yaesu FT7 and urica!  It still 
works.
Putting out 11 watts, acording to the Tw1.  At the risk of sounding 
too
elitist, working around 10 wpm when I'm used to 30 took some adjusting 
but
was fun.  i'll probably be haunting 80 and 40 from time to time 
through
Tuesday.  Hope to catch some of you.  Happy new year from WA3MIX and 
WB3KRN.
