    My SKN contact with K5JKK, George, revealed he is 89 years of age,
    had the call K5JKK since 1935 and been a ham for 73 years. His fist
    is easy to copy. Thanks for holding Straight Key Night, I am already
    looking forward to next year. 73, N5SR, Ray Read More

    Family activities and football games kept my operating time to a minimum but I was still able to enjoy 7 SKN QSO's on 40 meters with my SST-40 QRP rig. As always, it was a lot of fun. I especially enjoyed working WN9U who had a really great fist usin... Read More

    01/02/2004 | VE3WMB

    I only managed to make it on the air for 3 SKN QSOs but I had a lot of fun.
    I used my Elecraft K1 at 5 watts and a Swedish Army Key that was given to me by some Swedish friends as a gift.

    There were a few stations operating at 20 wpm who sounded like W... Read More

    I made just one contact but it was a good one. Using my Elecraft K2 at five watts and a Kent key, I worked W0RTK in Belfield, North Dakota. Clarence told me he was using a key he made especially for Straight Key Night. Reminded me of the last meetin... Read More

    The anticipation of Straight Key Night was running very high as I decided to use my Christmas present for the first time. You see, my XYL Leslie found a way to surprise me with my Novice station equipment. Drake 2B receiver with 2BQ, Heathkit DX-40 tra... Read More

    Got my first ticket 49 years ago but this was my first SKN - used the good ole J-38 that I bought a few months before I got my novice ticket. Only snuck in a few times at the key while our weekend company wasn't looking - worked W1NB, WA0OTV, WA4OAB, K... Read More

  • W7DRA/0 Blasting away with 5 watts

    01/02/2004 | W7DRA/0

    Again this year I visited my daughter and family, bringing along my modified HW16 with 6AG7 vfo. I ran only 5 watts which did cut down on the QSO total a bit, and I did not work the west coast at all. I am constantly amazed at the propagation from Nebr... Read More

    Only worked three stations, but had fun. Used one of my J-38 keys and the Omni VI+ on 80 meters. My first attempt to call was a bust. The J-38 had a bad connection at the post (I usually use a Vibroplex Blue Racer) so it meant troubleshooting and a cle... Read More
