Ok, so I’m finally getting around to posting my report for ARRL Straight Key Night (SKN) 2022. I had a lot of fun, operating CASUALLY, off and on, during the 24 hour event.
Here’s the summary.
Contacts by frequency band:
10M = 1
12M = 0
15M = 1
17M = 1
20M = 2
30M = 1
40M = 12
80M = 4
160M = 1
Total contacts made = 23
Rigs by brand (where mentioned):
Elecraft = 4
Icom = 5
Kenwood = 1
Yaesu = 2
Other = 2
Key type (where mentioned):
Straight Key = 4
Bug = 3
States worked = 16
DX worked = 2 (PY5, CO8)
Interesting (at least to me) notes:
• Worked Mark WA2NNY, an amateur musician (saxophone), on 40M New Year’s Eve.
• Worked Rob WA0VQY right at the end of the event on New Year’s Day---17 years, almost to the MINUTE, since the last time I worked him!
