This was my first effort in SKN. I only made two QSO's

This is my second year in the 10 meter contest as a QRP Phone only entry. It was a great contest but about the same as the last contest in this catagory.
I enjoy the challenge of QRP, especially in these times of poor propagation. Thanks to all who lis... Read More -

Sadly I must admit that after 33 years of Ham radio, this was
my first SKN, but I most certainly will be back next year! What
fun it was to be able to use once again the old straight key and
my original first REAL station: Hallicrafters HT-37 and SX-10... Read More
