Although it took awhile to readjust my old Vibroplex bug, I enjoyed a few QSO's with Bill, W9ZN in Chicago; Paul, K1SEZ in Connecticut, and the SKCC special event station in my neck of the woods, K1Y/4. The OP for K1Y/4, Frank, is my nominee for best f... Read More

For my second SKN I warmed up the Apache and R392 as I had last year. I creaked the Apache's mode switch from AM to CW and tuned up in 80 metres a couple of hours early. W0TDH caught my ID and called so we had a pleasant chat. I found that my little... Read More

The most fun I've had on the air in a long time. I made 19 SKN QSO's with my vintage HW-16, HG-10B VFO, and J37 straight key with a simple dipole antenna. I even ran into an old friend or two that made it even more special. Don't know about others, but... Read More

I really enjoyed the few contacts I made on SKN, as I didn't have much time. I don't use my straight key that often, but it was a great time! I am a member of SKCC and FISTS and this was so much fun! Can't wait until next year! KJ7UN Read More
