It's a good thing I don't take my contesting seriously. Antenna Rotor froze due west, but my 20+ year old mini-beam has so little directivity on 20M it hardly mattered. On the other hand, it always helps to read the rules! I saw Jan. 3, and jumped t... Read More

Only had time for a handful of ragchews on 40 meters on New Year's Day, but always lots of fun. Beautiful CW sent by fine operators - it doesn't get much better than that!

SKN is special. Condx were poor. I didn't work a soul on 20M. On 40M worked K4BKD and W3FAF. Both of these ops had FB fists. C U next year 73 Greg WB9MII

As always I had a great time operating SKN. The bands were alive with the sound of CW and at a speed I could copy. It was hard to find a clear spot on 40 and 80 meters that didnt have the sound of slow, well sent CW. The K3Y stations from the SKCC clu... Read More
