It was a lot of fun. Two years ago (2007) was my first attempt at SKN. After so many years of paddles it was a struggle. This year once again I dusted off the old Lafayette Radio straight key and jumped in. I only had five QSOs but enjoyed them imm... Read More

A lot of fun in noisey conditions. I managed 9 QSO's and with 4 countries, and quite a few were SKCC (Straight Key Century Club) members. The key I used is one of my favourites - a Marconi PS No213A Coast Station key, ex "GKA" coast station, Portishead... Read More
