It was a pleasure working the ten stations during SKN. My 2012 SKN station is 1950s and 1960s vintage WRL Globe Scout, Drake 2-B with 2-BQ, B&W T-R Switch, and a J-38 with Nye Speed-X key. The T-R switch was also needed to dampen the vibration of the S... Read More

I always enjoy SKN. The highlight for me was calling CQ on 20 meters during New Year's Day afternoon and hearing WA1VQY reply to me, WA0VQY. I thought at first I was experiencing a long-delayed echo. In over 43 years as a ham, this is only the second ... Read More

SKN is a great way to bring in the New Year. Having recently moved from Nevada to northern California, I had to dig out the 75A-4 and Viking II which were buried under numerous moving boxes. The tubes were still in their sockets, so the rigs were fire... Read More

Spent 7 hrs ragchewing (19 different contacts, a couple as long as 45 min) last night, with time out for a couple of nets. Then 3 more hrs this morning. SKN is great fun. My hand would never have lasted on a straight key & I knew it. So I used my ... Read More

SKN has become my favorite radio event of the year, no doubt about it. The event is relaxed and courtesy is the norm, not the exception. I enjoy CW QSO's with hams that are returning for CW, even if for just one night. My best QSO was with WB8FSV Jack ... Read More
