I had not been able to participate in SKN for a few years but I was going to make this one. It was terrific! I had a great time, with QSOs on both HF and on the Satellites. It was simple, easy going QSOs, with the bands sounding more like 1970 when I w... Read More

My first one in a couple of years, and made only one contact (but that is a start). When I turned on my Pro-III on 40 meters all I saw was wall to wall blips; thought it was a contest week end. I tried giving a couple of calls but got no response. 40... Read More

Wow, I had a blast on SKN! I haven't worked SKN much in the past few years, but the activity level this year was amazing.

I did note a few operators who seemed to be intent on merely seeing how many stations they could... Read More -

As always I tried to be in the SKN every year. This year I made 46 contacts using my US Navy CMI 26003A flameproof key. My vote for best fist is for Dave W4KD - 91 years old OT using a Bunnell Hand Key.

Had a great time! More participation than I can ever remember in previous SKNs. Could it be that dropping the code requirement will actually increase interest in "original Digital"? Only time will tell, hi!
Seconding NI9Y's comments, 80M certainly mo... Read More -

SKN - 2007 was the best one yet. It seems to become more popular and active each year. I think alot of this can be attributed to the growing ranks of SKCC and FISTS. They are doing a great job of promoting the joys and traditions of CW despite the rece... Read More
