    I worked K6XZ Jim in Dansville, CA. He said he hadn't been on CW for many years but he did a fine job, I hope SKN was his comeback to the first digital mode. Looking forward to SKN 2008 but in the meantime I'm using my keyer. Read More

    SKN is always fun. Setting back and chatting with someone with the J-38 is a pleasure. (arm gets sore though) Reminds me a lot of my days as a novice, when I all I did was chat with others. Rig used was TX Kenwood 440, RX Drake R-4B. 73 to all and see ... Read More

    As usual SKN was a blast. I only had time for 3 SKN QSOs, but they were all very enjoyable. The bonus was snagging my good friend Ken, WA8REI just as he was finishing up another SKN QSO on 40M. Ken and I had a really fun QSO. Not only did I torment him... Read More

    I sure had a ball. I used a J-38 and split radio-time between my Ten Tec Omni VI Plus and my Oldie-but-Goodie Kenwood TS-830S. The 830 drifts a little, so it made things seem even more like the good ol' days.
