Had a lot of fun as usual on fourth SKN. More listening than QSO's though, because of apartment QTH. Using homebrew magnetic loop antenna (4'dia.) tuned for 7.040-7.055MHz and 25W to keep radiation within limits. Limited power and band with QSB made... Read More

Straight Key Night is a holy day of obligation for me in two respects: It is a time to show honor and respect to all the CW operators who established Morse as an international language. It also marks exactly ten years, to the day, that I enjoyed my ver... Read More

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

Used my 1970 Novice transmitter again this year. My Dad & I built it from a January 1957 QST article by Lewis G. McCoy W1ICP: "6L6GBs in a 2 Stage Novice Rig". Quite a bit of QSB on 40M this year but had a number enjoyable QSO's using a 7060Khz XTAL. Read More

A good first workout for my brand new vanity call - KW6G. It worked quite well indeed.
Band condxs were not exactly stellar this year, but what was surprising to me was the number of stations on the air....Seemed like there were many more than last ye... Read More -

I was using my HW-101, trap vertical and Radio Shack hand key. Had 3 qso's on 40 meters K4IBZ, W5JBV, and K3Y/8.
Enjoyed all 3, they all had good fists,
