This was my first entry in this contest as a single op. I had worked
with the W0SD crew in 2002 and 2003. It was those sessions that introduced me to Writelog and the RTTY Roundup. I got the bug and have been into this contest stuff since, I had onl... Read More -

SKN is a fun event, with time to pass more than a signal report. We were using the Marconi Radio Club Call W1AA. The transmitter was from an April 1956 CQ Magazine, the Mighty 4 Watter, a rebuild of our station from 1957. A single 50L6 tube puts out 2... Read More
