SKN is always a fun event, even when conditions are poor and time is limited. I made seven QSOs on 40-meters running my Elecraft K1 at 4 watts into my old Cushcraft R7 vertical. We had a significant torm during the night and most of my contacts were ... Read More

I had absolutely NO time for SKN this year, although I did manage to squeeze in one QSO. I couln't let the day go by without getting on the key for a bit.
I have enjoyed SKN in the past and hope there will be more of it in the future.

This year I pulled out my old no name cast iron base cw key that my Elmer, K8QAT, gave me back in 1966 when I first got my Novice license as WN3FNT in Western PA when I was 15 years old. Boy did that bring back the Novice memories of my old Eico 720 tr... Read More
