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

    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

    Able to do one contact in 40 meters, three in 20 meters and twenty
    contacts in 30 meters band.

    First contact was with my friend ... 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!

    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

    Best CW Fist - Don W8LJ

    01/04/2010 | K6KPH

    I think it's time to let everyone in on a little secret about why we at K6KPH participate in SKN each year. Sure, we love Morse code and we enjoy the opportunity to work a lot of stations, especially in the late evening hours when K6KPH is not normall... Read More

  • Even these crystals weren't enough for crowded conditions on 40M New Years Eve

    01/04/2010 | WD6DBM

    I had a blast in the 2010 SKN as always! I had hoped to be on the air with a 6L6 TX and my just-restored Hallicrafters SX-140 RX but I didn't make it. Instead I used one of my HW-16s, this one built and highly modified by my elmer W5NYT. It features... Read More
