    01/04/2010 | WB

    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

  • The 'heavy metal' used at KW6G during the 2010 SKN.

    01/04/2010 | KW6G

    A good first workout for my brand new vanity call - KW6G. It worked quite well indeed.

  • J.H. Bunnell #7939. A gift from my mother upon passing my Novice in 1978.

    01/04/2010 | WD5IYT

    I've been a ham since 1978 and had never worked SKN. What a great time I've missed! 40m late at night reminded me of what the Novice bands used to sound like. It was just wonderful.

    I used my Elecraft K1 running 5 Watts to a 40m dipole. My key is a... Read More

  • SKN station setup for W1TS. You have to have a VERY understanding XYL to be able to use the dresser in the spare bedroom for your operating position. Just place a 1'X 5' pine board over the 3 upper opened drawers and you are ready for SKN! P.S. Don't scratch the furniture!

    01/04/2010 | W1TS

    SKN has become part of my New Year's Eve tradition for many years now and I eagerly look forward to firing up one of my several vintage rigs with which to participate. This year it was the Heathkit DX-60-B and HG-10B VFO with a Collins 75A-3 in the bed... Read More
