Another year come and gone...One thing for sure is that SKN is a great way to end your holiday season....Have been doing this on a regular basis for the past 15 years and really enjoy it...

Made 14 QSO's this year spread out among 80, 40, and 20 meter bands...Signals were generally down from those in the recent past, but that is expected at the bottom of the sunspot cycle.

Thank goodness for bugs, though...They really save your arm...I managed to utilize 2/3 for my Vibroplex triple key (paddle, straight key, and bug on a single base - see photo) to do most of the work...This allowed for a seamless transition from bug to straight key and back as desired...

Thanks to ARRL for continuing to sponsor this great event...

Happy New Year to all and 73's de Charles, KW6G
