      This year I was able to use my first rig, a Yaesu FT-101E, that was a Christmas present from my XYL when I was first licensed in 1987. The radio had been in storage for some time and needed a little TLC during the past year to coax it back to life. I... Read More

    Another great New Years Eve for 2012 SKN.   The equipment used was an HT-40 xmtr running 35 wts, a BC-348Q rx, and a replica of the Titanic straight key.  This is much like my novice stations of the 1960s.  It was a pleasure to work several repeat stat... Read More

    Very memorable way to start the new year by using ham radio's (and my ...) original mode.  Used my second rig - HW16 with HG10 VFO.  Made some nice QSO's with interesting folk using all kinds of rigs.  Read More

    This was Nick's second Kids Day.  You should have seen his excitement when his CQ's were answered. Wish the bands were more open but he had fun none the less.  Also got one of his friends on to experience Amateur Radio for the first time.  Was an overa... Read More

    Built my NorCal Tuna Tin 2 after having the kit for over ten years, just for SKN.  Managed to squeak in a QSO with KB2HHW and had a very nice QSO.  He said I was a solid 599 into NY from PA.  My New Year resolution is to get those other projects built! Read More

    Another great SKN! I only made 2 contacts using a HW-16 with HG10B VFO and a Sidewinder key on 80 meters and  1 contact with my buddy Frank, AA2XB on 3598 using a Utah UAT-1 (Jr.) with a 75A-2 and Bunnell Sounder / Key (pat. May 7, 1885) running 10 w. ... Read More

    I had a lot of fun ringing in the New Year 2012 participating in SKN for 2012. I used a Vintage Yaesu FT-301D I obtained & repaired in 2011 along with my Nye Viking SpeedX hand key.  Either the Propogation conditions were poor or there were not too man... Read More
