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

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

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
