    Another Great SKN! Lots of fun as usual, great using my old Drake 2B and 2NT coupled to my ol' J38. Couldn't resist firing up the Ten Tec Century 22 at 5 watts for some great QRP QSO's on 40 as well! Thanks for all the action, fellers, and see ya next ... Read More

    SKN-2009 was another joyful event here at K3PX. I made 8 QSO's on 80 meters, 13 QSO's on 40 meters for a total of 21 QSO's in 12 states. I used several rigs and keys during the event. The transmitter was an old EICO 720 at 90 watts input, with a Hallic... Read More

    My best score ever thanks to the new 4 element StepIR. The Bi-Direction function helped get those calling me off the back. I used it for 75% of the contest. New 250Hz filter in the FT-1000MP also a great benefit. Now, if I could get off to a better s... Read More

    This was my very first SKN and it was a lot of fun! I only got my license in 2008, so I am very new to ham. However, I've set my goal to go on air with CW, using vintage gear that I love and SKN was a perfect event for this purpose. I made my very firs... Read More
