Had a great time as always. I worked 16 station on my HW-16 and HG10B VFO. The best and first QSO was with Ed (K5BOT) as he had the same rig. We talked until the bands did not want us to talk anymore. Thanks for SKN as it always renews my interest in H... Read More

I had a most enjoyable time participating in Straight Key Night for the first time in quite a few years. This year, I placed the K8QMN Special Event Station on air for several hours, celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Michigan, QMN CW Net. It wa... Read More

Another great straight key night marking my 11th year on ham radio. Many unusual voices were heard using a wide variety of vintage gear. Most remarkable was how many new stations appeared apart from the usual gang of people heard most of the year on th... Read More

Great fun was had on this SKN. I worked a dozen stations on 7 different bands. 12 meters was the biggest surprise which tells me the bands are more open then we think and maybe we should be calling CQ on all bands. Used a Navy Flameproof and a Vibrople... Read More

When SKN started this New Year’s Eve, I found that 40 meters was not in good shape. After a couple of contacts, I decided to hold off, I went to bed early and got up about 4 a.m. local (1000Z) with the thought that maybe I might snag a JA or two. Tha... Read More
