I had a lot of fun working this 160 Contest. I went in it casually to see how much fun I could have using my old FT-757GX radio on top band. You don't need the Latest and Greatest Radio to have fun Contesting. I find that simple little FT-757GX to work... Read More

SKN is always a fun time. I enjoyed 11 QSOs, all on 40 meters. I ran my Elecraft K1 at 4 watts but sometimes turned it down to 900 mW. My antenna is a Cushcraft R7 vertical that has been up for 15 years. I used an old strap-key that was made by the... Read More

SKN was just fine in 2009.
It was a lot of fun. Not really a lot of SKN stations as in previous years -- but it could be just me since I was not on too much.
I am going to send my SKN log data to the ARRL the old-fashioned way -- by U.S. Mail. Read More -

Another fun SKN. Sure didn't fill up the log, but I also spent a lot of time just reading the mail. Last year, my K3 arrived 25 days too late for SKN, but I got use it this year with my trusty black and brass Speed-X SK. It was fun to work W7VXS and... Read More

Hi:
The 2009 SKN event was another very enjoyable night. I was using my old J-45 key strapped around my right leg.
The J-45 key actually is a J-37 key mounted on a U shaped spring steel clamp that fits in the leg for use on aircraft, jeeps or other ve... Read More
