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 -

I used a Heathkit HW-16 (modified by W5NYT with a second IF, 80-10M coverage, and amplifier relay among others) and a Speed-X s... Read More -

Spent first couple hours on 40 meters. QSOs and callers were wall-to-wall with fierce QRM, reminiscent of the novice band days of the 1970s when first licensed, with an almost eerie Twilight_Zone feel. Even with modern equipment DSP and narrow filter... Read More

I had a great time once again working SKN. On 80 and 40 meters where I hung out there were many fine operators sending dits and dahs the old-fashioned way.
I did note a few operators who seemed to be intent on merely seeing how many stations they could... Read More
