There is nothing like operating with a straight key.  A few years ago I became a member of the Straight Key Century Club, and when my daughter Jennifer, KB1TSU (now a General) became a ham in 2010 we both got very involved in SKCC club activities, and each earned several club awards and participated in a number of contests. I earned my "T" by exchanging my club number (4236T) with a certain number of other club members.  One of the great ham radio websites is this spotter, operated by the club which provides the opportunity for those of us chasing states and countries to set up QSOs as well as to check on current propagation.
