    As always, SKN is a wonderful time to step back into those thrilling days of yesteryear.  After letting the smoke out of the stalwart PRC-1 Spy Radio last year,  the set mustered for another SKN along with the able Collins Twins celebrating their 60th ... Read More

    SKN 2013 was loads of fun for me. I worked a total of nine stations in seven different states. I only operated on 80 meters and used my old Speed-X hand key throughout the entire event. Used my Ten Tec Jupiter and G5RV Dipiole. My favorite SKN QSO was ... Read More
