Actually, guys, it DOES say "old-fashioned bugs, a variation of the straight key" on the rules page for SKN of the ARRL web site.
"In many circles SKN has been expanded to encompass vintage radio equipment as well. Reminiscing about their early days in our hobby, many operators use SKN as the "excuse" to refurbish their old Viking, Heathkit, or Scout. You will hear as many vintage radios on the air during SKN as you will variety of keys. And you will hear signals generated using old-fashioned bugs, a variation of the straight key. SKN is the time amateur radio recalls the past, transporting it to the present." Surely this horse is dead by now. 73 and Merry Christmas, Ken K3IU -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of n3drk Sent: Friday, December 23, 2005 10:15 AM To: Dale Putnam; elecraft Subject: Re: [Elecraft] SKN > > See you on SKN... and who cares what I use.... ??

Only you will know what you are using. We all have to live with our conscience. Why dont you start a new one! Call it "Bug Night" or "Paddle Night". Then you will have the few who claim that a straight key is a paddle!
