SKN is an event that I try to participate in each year.  I usually just work a hadful of stations.  Hearing all of the slow speed CW is like some kind of time machine as the bands sound like they did back in the distant past.

It was amusing that the first station that I worked was AB3LF who told me that he was a fairly new ham. With a call like his, I couldn't resist explaining to him about the Q signal 'QLF'!

I used my Johnson Speed-X key which has been a part of the station since KN2GBH went on the air in 1953.  At 85, if I wasn't the oldest participant, I soon may be!
