  • Icom 706 and Chinese made key next to a Profi

    01/03/2007 | NG7Z

    What a kick that was! I've participated each year since getting relicensed in 1998 but haven't sent my log. Made just 15 Q's but it seems that's about par. I was a ham back in the 60's and got the bug again later in life. SKN is a fun event and will co... Read More

    I was having a bit of a frustrating night when the contest began, the condx in Indiana were a bit rough and I managed one contact that evening. It was with Ernie, KH4IFX in Florida, and the next day I got K1BO in Hickory NC. We had a lot of running ar... Read More

  • The Op.

    01/03/2007 | AF2Z

    Looks like I'm just one of a number of prodigal hams returning to a great hobby after many years of absence. This was my first SKN ever! I didn't get a chance to work a whole lot of stations due to QRM (from holiday guests), but at least I can say I wa... Read More

    This is the my first time to participate in SKN. I very much enjoyed my experience, and I recommend this activity to all operators. I enjoyed the rag chew style operating.

    I would like to thank K2CFK and N4QR for their patience with my poor fist. It... Read More

    I dabbled a little bit in SKN on 80 & 160 on the night of Dec. 31, with no luck. I went to bed at 10:30 PM local time. Unfortunately my Cluster Headaches repaid me a visit, forcing me to be up for the midnight year change. This combined with a cold/vir... Read More

  • Vintage 1976 HW-101 with NyeViking key and homebrew key at N2DM

    01/03/2007 | N2DM

    My first SKN event that I operated. Had 3 wonderful QSO's with K1CG, KG4W, & K9VIS. K9VIS, John was the most memorable, with his HW-16. Great solid signal from the HW-16. I am partial to Heathkit. All 3 stations had great fist's. I used my vintage HW-1... Read More

  • The Drake B-line Twins, Johnson Speedx spark key, an empty cup of java, along with a whole slew of notes, scribbles, and great SKN 2007 memories.

    01/03/2007 | WA7CS

    Straight Key Night is one of my very favorites - has been for years. This SKN was no different. Conditions were not so bad, considering we're rock-bottom in cycle 23. 40 meters was genuinely crowded for the first few hours, and stayed busy all throu... Read More

  • QSO in Progress at K8JD

    01/03/2007 | K8JD

    Been jumping into SKN activities on & off over the years. This year I have submitted my log.
    I Made 15 contacts during the first 5 hours of non-continuous activity, taking time off to toast the new year with the family and have a late dinner.
    I jumped... Read More
