    Here is a list of stations worked in the 2010 SKN: 80 meters: WA3SLN, W4FOA, KT8N, K9NO; 40 meters: WA9CFK, W4RK. Can't really say if any one contact was the "best" or "most interesting". They were all "FB" and this "OT" had a good time! Used old Colli... Read More

  • HT-40 and BC-312 amid other boat anchor gear

    01/05/2010 | W1FP

    This was a great SKN, partly because I was using a rig similar to my novice set-up in the 1960s, and also because I had 9 qsos lasting about 30 minutes each. My operating equipment consisted of an HT-40 tx putting out about 50 wts, a real nice BC-312 ... Read More

    This was my second year for SKN and I set a goal to make at least 5 contacts. Last year I only made 3 QSOs, all being out of state. This year I made three again with only one out of state, the other two were here in Amarillo.
    What happened? I thin... Read More

  • Happy times on 40m. Lots of stations.

    01/05/2010 | K6JEY

    Great SKN. Lots of activity. I fired up my Drake TR 44 and used a Signal Electric spark key (1915?) As others have said it felt like the old novice days on 40. Great! Read More

    Conditions were not that great out here on Maui. Maybe it takes time for those new sunspots to heat up the ionosphere? I used my J-38 and flame key to key the old Omni-D. I was able to work KK6AW, K9WZB, W5DVT, and 'RD" at K6KPH. I give my vote for bes... Read More
