I made it a point to get on the air this SKN with my HW-7 that I purchased from Paul, W0RW, earlier this year. I made a few modifications to it but never got around to the all important RIT function. If I did I would had not needed to rely on crystals... Read More

Another great event and I thought I was going to miss it having been admitted to the hospital early on the 31st. But, they let me out in time to snag a couple of good SKN QSOs! I am truly blessed. My 1st one (always significant) was way down in the ... Read More
