  • 01/07/2008 | K2A/3

    This was my first SKN. 2007 was my first year operating CW. Outside of checking into my local ARES/RACES net and WPA Emergency net, I have not used a mic. I operated K2A/3. K2A is the special event call for the second anniversary of the Straight Ke... Read More

    RTTY Roundup N5ZM M/S LP

    Our score is off from last year but we did better with our QSO total. We had a
    few nice surprises during our CQ runs with calls from TA1DX, TR8CA, V73RY,
    CN8IG, EA8OM and SV9CVY that stand out among the many others.

    We had a ... Read More

  • "Serving up" my straight key collection

    01/06/2008 | AE3A

    Thanks for another great SKN! Running 20 watts from a Yaesu FT840 about 25 miles north of NYC, I achieved my goal of using each one of my 9 straight keys, including a J-37, J-38, Navy "flameproof", British WT 8 AMP, and Bulgarian, Soviet, and Chinese ... Read More

  • Built for a recent NAQCC event, I used this key on SKN, 2008.

    This was my second SKN and it was a blast! I was operating QRP with my Sprint 3 and a home brew straight key.

  • VE3LC with Viking Ranger and Drake 2B, SKN-2008

    01/06/2008 | VE3LC

    I really enjoyed participating in SKN 2008 with my Johnson Viking Ranger transmitter and Drake 2B receiver. I spent a couple of weeks cleaning up the old equipment for the event. I was especially in heaven when K1DC responded to my Chirpy CQ SKN with... Read More

    Had a great time once again. I managed to work sixteen stations with my J-38 doing the honors for the dits and dahs. On New Year's Day I had to work around phone calls coming into the shack from all the presidential campaigns crisscrossing our fine sta... Read More

  • 01/06/2008 | KO6YG

    Thanks again for such an enjoyable contest! Being slow at CW, it is so nice to be able to ragchew for as long as possible to gain proficiency at CW receiving and copying. Also, it was so nice for the other operators to QRS when I asked them if they w... Read More

  • Ray, W2RJJ, poses with his two keys he used for SKN 2008.

    01/06/2008 | W2RJJ

    I think this was my 9th SKN, and, again, it was fantastic. Forty meters was wall-to-wall all New Year's eve and the next day, too. Pictured are me and the two keys I used: British Air Ministry 7373, and a standard Kent. I worked 15 stations in about ... Read More
