    I had a blast during SKN 2009. This was actually my second one. 2008 I had 1 QSO.

    This year I fired up my grandmother's Yaesu FT-101EE that the original receipts show that she took delivery of this rig 2 days after my 2nd birthday, April 1976.

    This was my very first SKN and it was a lot of fun! I only got my license in 2008, so I am very new to ham. However, I've set my goal to go on air with CW, using vintage gear that I love and SKN was a perfect event for this purpose. I made my very firs... Read More

    Straight Key Night! I havent missed one yet since passing the old Novice Exam (19 years now!). God, how I hated CW then I was really struggling with trying to improve my speed enough to have even a slim chance at the General 13 wpm exam, but I figure... Read More

    Once again a very enjoyable SKN, even though I only had time for 3 QSOs. All were nice ragchews, especially a longer one with K3NCO where I switched between my HamKey HK-3 and my original Novice J-38 from 1964. It was great to hear some of the old gear... Read More

    Some FB SKN QSOs again this new year. Stayed on 40 meters where the sounds of many straight keys were in the air. Some great story telling along the way and a real variety of brass pounding devices. 2009 is my 50th year in the hobby. No better way ... Read More

    No photos this year, just comments. I worked five or six stations on SKN on both 8 and 4 and as usual had fun with my straight key.

    Every year I remember how I use to send greater than 16 WPM on a straight key and copy greater than 21 WPM on a Royal... Read More

    01/06/2009 | K3Y/6

    I operated the K3Y/6 special call for the third anniversary of the SKCC group. I made 22 contacts and had a great time, this is my first SKN in which I submitted a log and made comments. I had a couple very nice contacts with youngsters, I was happy to... Read More

    I started off at 0000Z using the K3Y/1 callsign for the 3rd anniversary celebration of the Straight Key Century Club. As such i did special event types of QSOs that were brief. After i had a few QSOs with my own call sign and then another crack at som ... Read More
