2019 SKN was an opportunity to experience the worst propagation conditions of any I've participated in. Deep QSO on all bands. 80 meters after the sun went down was completely wiped out by QRM of broad band static. Static was verified to be on all band... Read More

Really enjoyed the 3 ragchews by SK and a little bit of BUG to three fine ops with excellent fists. Seemed to be plenty of SKN activity around on 40 and 80 and no problem finding a CQ if desired. Only downside was the skip zones which led to some QRM ... Read More
