Except for Field Day, which our club (USECA) does in a big way, my favorite operating event on the air has always been Straight Key Night. Although some SKNs find me with more spare time and the opportunity for many more contacts, others are crowded w... Read More

Got up early (5am local EST) to work the hang over crew. Found the band full on 40M, 80M, and 160M. It was a great time until the antenna came down in some high wind.
Had fun with SKN and will continue through the month with the SKCC K2A anniversary ev... Read More
