Straight Key Night 2008 was great. The CW band was busy day and night with "hand made" code. I heard some great fists out there that sounded like music to my ears. My old Heathkit Apache TX-1 transmitter and National NC-183 receiver kept the shack warm... Read More

One of my New Year's Resolutions is to get more active with CW. SKN gave me a great opportunity to get started. I spent most of the time listening to other QSO's and building up my confidence, and a family hike in the daytime limited my operating tim... Read More

W6SQQ - I was on a camping trip with Sam's Radio Hams this year, so was operating from the RV. 50 watts to an SGC ATU, a roof mounted 27' vertical and a Nye Master key. Due to scheduled activities, I didn't have much time, but did manage 3 SKN QSOs. ... Read More
