I spent one year preparing for SKN 2011. After the last SKN, I decided I'd refurbish & tune up my old HW-16, which I built in 1972 when I was a Novice (WN0HEG). I wanted to use real vintage equipment in 2011, but the HW-16 chirped real bad, and I had... Read More

Enjoyed participating in SKN this year, even though I was only on for 5 hours or so. Friday night I played bagpipes at our local brewpub in below freezing temperatures, so I got a late start. I should have spent the time with SKN, and stayed warm, bu... Read More

Straight Key night 2011 may well have been my favorite yet. The 80 m, 40 m, and 20 m bands were full of CW signals, and I never have to call very long before someone responded. I had 10 very enjoyable QSO's with stations across the United States and Ca... Read More

Thanks to all for another wonderful SKN. ¡My J-38 was alive this New Year`s Eve!. Although the band was a little noisy down here I had a chance to grab few but very enjoyable QSOs that made me proud with the honor of being the first HP to some operat... Read More
