[bars] Straight Key Night starts Friday at 7 PM - Who will be on from BARS?

[Larry Krainson]

Cool on the key Henry! My straight key, which I only use on SKN is a Ham
Key. I've had it since 1977 when I was a novice. It's the one with the red
body and red finger piece. It's adequate but I won't get another since it's
only used on SKN.

A friend in NC (KB1N) was just telling me he will be on with his Begali
Blade and my W1SFR Torsion side-swiper. He's a transplant from Maine in his
retirement. He'll be listening for New Englanders.

I hope to hear you and others tonight. Andy already said he'd be on and Tom
too. Who else?

Larry, W1AST
