This was my first real SKN but I was very limited in the time I could spend. No matter. Two contacts. The first initially amused me because the ham was not operating in SKN, nor was he a FISTS member, so no points there. However, had the SSB QRM he was... Read More

Worked two stations with an old Radio Shack straight key which my father bought me and my brother while in Cub Scouts. Ran the Icom 706 MKIIG at 5 watts to an indoor 15 meter dipole. Lots of fun!

This was the 25th anniversary of my first QSO. My novice license arrived in late December 1978 and I got on the air for the first time as KA3CEM during SKN 1979. My equipment now is a little different - a Ten-Tec Omni VI+ with a Nye-Viking Master Key... Read More

Another Straight Key Night has come and gone, but not to be forgotten.It was nice to hear all the activity on the band (I worked 40 meters) Thanks to all the CW operators who brought out their J37, J38, Western Electric, E.F.Johnson circa1970,Bowman Sp... Read More
