Even from my portable station in Alabama, it was a pleasure to participate in Straight Key Night and work several proficient fists this year. Thank you WB0JZG, KB4KQN, K9PLX/9, K9DGS, AK0F, W9FY, K5KW, and K1Y/4 for enduring my rusty fist. It seemed li... Read More

For SKN 2007 I used my 1975 vintage station, EF Johnson Viking Adventurer tx 50w rock bound on 3.568 & 7.040kcs. The receiver a WW-2 Signal Corps BC-348Q and for the antenna just a 60' end fed wire up 25'. I used my trusty WW-2 J-38 straight key and vi... Read More

I only managed to find time for one SKN QSO and it was with N3III but I had a blast.
It was great to hear all of those CW signals on the air.
I used my Ten-Tec Argonaut V (a great CW Rig BTW) and my Swedish Military straight key (a gift from some Swed... Read More -

I had a great time operating SKN this year!!
I decided to use my old novice station, and set up in a friend of the family's one room log cabin.
My transmitter consisted of a homebrew, crystal controlled 6L6 oscillator running about 5 watts output on ... Read More -

The recent reports of the death of Morse are greatly exaggerated!
Right up until the last minute we didn't think that Maritime Radio Historical Society station K6KPH would be able to participate in SKN 2007 due to personal schedule conflicts. But at t... Read More
