    Worked half a dozen stations. Great time! Boy, is my fist rusty!! But this is the best of Ham Radio in my opinion: late night CW, cup of coffee (Highlander Grog!!), and a warm stove behind me...   Read More

      This year’s SKN was very enjoyable. Even though I only worked four stations I was able to do so in my own shack all by myself. Last year several of us gathered at K9ZTV’s for a meal and then a visit to his shack where some of his vintage equipment wa... Read More
