    2013 was ushered in despite the absence of 2013 from the Mayan calendar.  I spent time on 40M, then 80M and had five enjoyable CW QSO's with W9KHH (WI), KI6RRN (CA), and K5WK (TX).  My two 80M QSO's were in a three-way round table with WI6O and WA6NPC ... Read More

    How did I ever make hundreds on contacts in the early '70s using only a handful of xtals and a 3 band HW-16 transceiver?  For SKN 2013, I used only that equipment with a J-38 key, but had a great time.  Four contacts are in the log: WA0WNV (Ron) in Hoy... Read More

    Straight Key Night (a misnomer here as it starts at 4 PM local!) usually finds me making only a few contacts. This year using a 1916 Signal Electric 2KW Navy spark key, along with my trusty WW2 gear, a GO-9 transmitter and my ORIGINAL Novice BC-348... Read More
