    This was my first SKN. I didn't work a lot of stations but had lots of fun. It was nice to hear so many stations, and yet everyone was very nice. Looking forward to next year! Read More

    I always look forward to SKN. I am also a member of FISTS. My favorite straight key is the one in the photo. It is about 90 years old and belonged to a friend who was a chief radioman in WW1 & WW2. Another key I sometimes use is the J38 I bought when I... Read More

    SKN was a lot of fun. My new SKCC straight key (Serial #06) was one of the lucky ones that made it out of Morse Express in Denver before the blizzard hit.

    Straight Key Night once again was an exciting adventure for me. The sound of different fists on the straight key makes for true CW music. This is my second year for straight key night, and it was just as enjoyable as last year.
    I only had four hours t... Read More

  • The warm glow of my old novice gear along with many nice QSO's made pounding brass pure enjoyment.

    The 80m band especially was full of activity on early Sunday nite. Using my HW16/HG10 I had lots of fun working folk spanning from a single tube homebrew rig to a Valiant to modern DSP transceivers. Enjoyable conversation was had by pounding the bras... Read More
