Hi
2010 SKN was another opportunity to work my old WWII J-45 (a J-37 mounted on a steel clamp that is strapped to the leg). Poor propagation and to many holidays compromises resulted in not to many SKN QSOs. Nonetheless, as years before, I feel very pr... Read More -

This SKN was my first CW operation in about 50 (FIFTY) years. I had only one contact, with Joe, W5QLF, a friend who lives about 30 miles away. We arranged the contact with e-mail, then found that 7080 was blasted by a tropical broadcaster. Via landl... Read More

This was my first SKN; 11 months ago I started to learn the code. As
a relative newbie, I had some trouble dealing with the QRM & QSB, focusing on the code stream that I wanted & ignoring the other ones. I did manage to have two successful & enjoyabl... Read More -

Before the 2009 skn I was enjoying coffee with ham friends AT a McDonalds and I noticed that the cover of the drinking spout felt like a hand key. I took the lid home and put a set of brass shim stock contacts in it and used it skn. I made another one ... Read More
