Straight Key Night 2009 was a blast, as usual. My contacts were on 40 meters. The Band was in fair condition despite our being at the bottom of the sunspot cycle. John, K9EX, a QRP station in Texas, crossed the Gulf of Mexico with a 5/9 report here in ... Read More

This was my very first SKN and it was a lot of fun! I only got my license in 2008, so I am very new to ham. However, I've set my goal to go on air with CW, using vintage gear that I love and SKN was a perfect event for this purpose. I made my very firs... Read More

Straight Key Night! I havent missed one yet since passing the old Novice Exam (19 years now!). God, how I hated CW then I was really struggling with trying to improve my speed enough to have even a slim chance at the General 13 wpm exam, but I figure... Read More
