SKN has become my favorite radio event of the year, no doubt about it. The event is relaxed and courtesy is the norm, not the exception. I enjoy CW QSO's with hams that are returning for CW, even if for just one night. My best QSO was with WB8FSV Jack ... Read More

I only made a few QSOs this year. By far the most interesting and my vote for best fist goes to Larry, WA5RES. Instead of using my Heathkit HW-16 I decided to use my Dad's last radio and his Nye Key. KB4OGI became a SK in 2008 and I finally got around ... Read More
