  • I start most of my January roves with a picture in front of the Hillsboro, WI bank. 23 degrees warmer than last year!

    01/30/2009 | KB9C/R

    Another January contest. Looking back, I'm glad I did it. My rove almost didn't happen. Memories of last year's sub-zero temps and a busy life almost kept me from participating.

    You can see one picture with the bank thermometer--that 18 degrees is 2... Read More

  • The station. FT817 and Junkers key

    01/30/2009 | NI6B / P

    Packed my Junkers key, FT817, and the HFp portable antenna and hiked up to the East Peak of Mt. Tam (a few miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge) for some portable QRP SKN operating fun. Had a great time! The bay area was socked in fog but at 2571 feet... Read More

  • Homebrew 40m Receiver inspired from the NorCal Sierra. Dial tuned 150 kHz in four full turns of the knob.

    01/29/2009 | AA4LR

    Finally completed my homebrew station with a 40m five-integrated circuit receiver. I had started it last year, but didn't finish in time for SKN. Used the same two-tube transmitter from the last couple of years. I added a T/R relay so that it was easie... Read More

    I have participated in SKN several years now and enjoy it more than any other contest. It is so relaxed! This year I used my Knight T-60 transmitter and the HB-QST Neophyte direct conversion receiver. The transmitter was crystal controlled as in the... Read More

  • Home away from home. Not too bad with a heater running !

    01/29/2009 | W4RXR

    I ran a small portable QRP operation this contest near home in EM65. For many of the same reasons we all face from time to time I could not get too far from town to my best ridgetop locations. This left me in a much compromised location: trees, highe... Read More

  • First Landing State Park, VA

    01/26/2009 | KM3G/R

    The best laid plans of mice and men... I planned to run the entire Delmarva peninsula grid this year including the two just across the bridge in Virginia Beach. It was my first experience at roving. I learned a lot. I learned that real rovers don't... Read More

    Only time for one contact, and that was with K0SX. I always have good intentions of spending a lot of air time on SKN. but it doesn't work out. My aim is to have some vintage gear on the air in 2009, the station I had in 1959. My calendar is marked f... Read More

  • 01/25/2009 | KC2TA

    First time I can honestly say that I was disappointed following a contest.

    Band conditions were the pits! I did a great deal of listening and found that the stations I heard had already been put into the log on most, if not all of the three bands av... Read More
