This will probably go over like a lead balloon, but I have a suggestion for something new/different for New Years Eve. As most of you know, there is a long tradition of dragging out the hand keys and doing "Straight Key Night" (SKN) on New Years Eve. I frequently drag my hand key out too, and make at least one or two contacts. But to be honest with you, using a hand key only brings back memories of how painful using a hand key can be.

So, here's my thought. If you don't have anything better to do on New Years Eve, if you aren't all that hep on using a hand key, and if you have a K3, how about a little activity on RTTY using CW input with your K3? I guess we could do PSK31, but RTTY is easier to spot.

Anybody interested, or is this a dumb idea?
