    My last previously logged CW contacts were made in August of 1969, so it would have been nice to have heard a few more stations sending at slower speeds. Had there been, I know I would have worked more than five. Will try it again next year :-) Read More

    SKN was a lot of fun as usual. It is wonderful to see the CW bands so full of signals and some strange signals at that....including mine! I was running the T22/ARC-5 on 40M putting 30W into a dipole. 20M activity was handled by a vintage Knight T50 f... Read More

    Straight Key Night was so very meaningful as I celebrate 50 years as a Amateur Radio Operator. It brought back the memories of my first cw contact on my Heathkit DX-20 transmitter, and Hallicrafters S20R receiver. Many thanks to KJ7Z, Phil, for being a... Read More

    This was my first SKN despite having been a ham since 1972! Once 4 PM PST hit, it was as if I had been sent back in time to my novice days when CW was the only mode, and nobody had high speed keyers! My favorite QSO was with Kevin, WD0AVV, who was usin... Read More

    It was probably 1980 that I last worked SKN and the event posted on the ARRL website pulled me back to 80 meters. My first contact was K2WI running his WWII spy suitcase and the best fist of the evening. Thanks, Rob, for a most interesting contact even... Read More

    It was sheer delight to work this years SKN. Although the bands were crowded, civility prevailed and most operators were courteous and great to deal with.
    I was able to make 16 SKCC K2A Anniversary QSO's from zero land. Also a number of QSO's from othe... Read More
