This was fun and a privilege to use the 3rd Anniversary special event call for the Straight Key Century Club. Had a chance to tell several about the SKCC. These five hours went by really fast.
I found band condx's to be fairly good, netting 10 q's in... Read More -

I enjoyed the SKN event for just a few hours this year but managed to contact 17 stations, some on 160 M and some on 80 M.
I used the same J-38 key that I used as a novice in 1961. Still in good shape after 47 years, a good investment since I only paid... Read More -

Yet another fun filled SKN, my third. This year was the toughest I think, as I operate QRP only, and conditions weren't the best.
The best fist (at least to my ear) was K1LGQ. I didn't hear anything that I would call exceptionally interesting, but th... Read More
