SKN 2008 was enjoyable. I'm in a condo and ran 10 watts to an indoor "heli-rope" antenna from the June 71 QST. Made 3 contacts and each fist was good. My key was my faithful Lionel J38 .

Once again a wonderful time was had during SKN. Band conditions were especially erratic on 40M where a number of ragchewing stations simply disappeared with propagation changes. The PRC-1 spy radio receiver left a lot to be desired on 40M as well. 80M... Read More
