Another SKN, like another year, come and gone! There was, however, improvement noted over previous years. There seemed to be more station activity and more stations worked than in previous SKN's. At least it seemed so to this operator based on my si... Read More

Another Great SKN for the records! This year I decided to use my DX-100-B transmitter and HQ-150 rcvr for 80 and 160 meters, but switched to the DX-60-B and 75A-3 for some contacts on 40 meters. It was nice to hear all the activity come up once the con... Read More
