Thanks to all for another great SKN come and gone! I tried my resurrected Argonaut 509 but with only an "attic dipole" this was not meant to be, so out came the Yaesu FT804 running 50W. Reminds me once again to get my Sandy-downed outdoor dipole repl... Read More

For SKN 2015, I used my trusty old Heath HW-16 again. But this time I had a modern VFO. I employed my KX3 in FM mode, with a 10 dB pad on its antenna port and a series 270pf dc blocking cap [Since -90V exists on the VFO input of the HW-16, I had to p... Read More

This is a Civil War Era Pocket Lineman's Key and Sounder that I used in this years SKN. Sometimes called a Spy Key but it is doubtful it was actually used in the field as it is not robust enough for rough usage, as least I have not seen any specific m... Read More
