Another Straight Key Night has come and gone. It was fun as usual. Many great fists and some nice sounding old radios on the air. My first contact was with N8TI up in Michigan on my favorite band, 160M. Enjoyed a nice chat with him. Second contact... Read More

Well, another SKN come and gone but the fun is not forgotten. Had time to make a few contacts. Heard some other SKCC members but band conditions kept them from hearing me. Oh well, the entire month of January is like SKN because of the SKCC K3Y-2010 ... Read More

This was another fun SKN- I'm really starting to look forward to this event. Conditions weren't as good as I'd like- the high bands were pretty poor, but I made some nice QSOs on 40 and 20 with N6EV, K6GVG, KE0G, WB9HFK, K9AYB, K9WWT, and WA6RIK. Many ... Read More

My SKN station consisted of a Viking II transmitter at 120 watts output and a Hallicrafters SX-96 receiver. I had a goal of making at least ten quality SKN contacts before going QRT near midnight.

Using 80 and 40 meters, little activity was heard east... Read More
