I have to agree with N5XTR. I am one of those with the zeros across the board but with 28 multipliers. Not sure how that worked out. maybe the issue was with "in the log" . Oh well I had a wonderful time. Hats off to the non rookies that took time to h... Read More

A nice way to spend a few hours on a Sunday. The bands were mediocre but it was nice to be able to give some Rookies a multiplier and a couple of points. The contest is a good idea but I would like to see more people participate. To add an extra dim... Read More

Better late than never! After being a ham since 1966 at age 13 in Chicago, this is my first SKN. I made 11 QSOs with half of them on 30 meters. It reminded me of the days being a novice CW operator again and with Morse code it made me feel like o... Read More
