Although physicists will claim that there is no such thing as a time machine, it is obvious that none of them have participated in Straight Key Night (SKN). Hundreds of operators fire up classic vintage gear (restored or replicated) and everyone, whet... Read More

Another great SKN. Worked more stations than ever. I had 8 keys plugged into my rig so stations could ask me to use whichever key they would like to hear on the air. It seems I heard more people calling CQ SKN this year than, which I think is great. I... Read More

I hadn't been on the air for quite a while, but I did not want to miss SKN. I had a little time, so I fired up the Ten-Tec on 20m. I worked a couple of KY3's and a couple of other stations. I had a great rag chew with Greg, W9ODY. We went on for a... Read More

Although using a "new" IC706, I used my Navy CJB26003A key from my Novice Days as KN3SVL. Only got to work on the air for a couple hours, but had a blast! First SKN I think I have ever worked in 50 years of being a ham. Will do it again next year! Read More

My SKN rig this year was from the 1930's. The receiver is a national FBXA and the transmitter was homebrew. The transmitter is an 802 crystal oscillator driving an HK-54 final at 125 watts out. The power supply has a pair of 866's and uses "haywire" co... Read More
