    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.

    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

    This was my first SKN, and lots of fun. Using an old Navy Flameproof to key my old Kenwood TS-430S, I worked W7JI, K1Y/4(K4VD), K2RFP, AC4XO, W0DEW and AB8KS on 40 and 80 meters. Read More

    This was my second SKN and was better than last year. It was clear to me that there were more on the air this time. I had a couple comment to me that it might have something to do with the FCC dropping the code requirment! Could be! Last year I used my... Read More

  • Heathkit Apache TX-1 with Hammarlund HQ-170A

    01/03/2007 | WB8DLC

    Another GREAT SKN! Thanks for all of the great QSOs.

    This year I ran my beautiful Heathkit Apache alongside my Hammarlund HQ170A - a station that I would have dreamed about as a young Novice. I managed 18 FB SKN QSOs with my Bunnell straight key. I ... Read More

    Worked 11 stations on SKN, 10 on 40 meters and 1 on 20. I had a ball. Lots of cw "music" this year and lots of great sounding fists.

    Worked a couple of stations with Drake 4 line equioment and both were very strong. Stations worked from here in Rale... Read More

  • My J-38 bought in 1974 for 6 dollars at my first hamfest.

    This is my first time operating SKN since first getting my license in 1974. It was lots of fun and my proficiency in CW was also improved tremendously. I belong to Fists CW club and my number is 10551. I worked 3 stations and carried on nice long QSO's... Read More
