    Although busy digging out of our fantastic record snowfall here in central NM (14"), I did manage to get in a few nice SKN QSO's, with:

    K8MSC, KV1E, WB5DNT, AD0CW, K7JHM and NJ7M

    I used my old novice key, a rectangular Nye Speed-X, keying the trusty TS... Read More

    Mobile CW at night, in traffic at 75 MPH can be challenging but the folks on the other end were patient. Thanks for hanging with me with the bumps on the road that get translated into extra letters of code. We should have more SKNs to show the world ... Read More

  • Ugly Weekender 40 mtr transceiver used on 2007 SKN.

    Great 2007 SKN! Lots of good fists and heard lots of SKCC operaters. I used my 1974 novice station key, a J-37 and also a British WT-8 amp. The rig was a homebrew, (Ugly Weekender) and amplifier and a 3/8 wave inverted "L" for 40 mtrs. Looking forward... Read More

    Hi All,

    What a great night of fun running CW. I hope that the SKCC keeps on making straight key night every night. We had a blast and will keep having fun for the whole year. See you all on the air and at the next SKN.

    Fired up my old hb 2 tube QRP rig and made a few QSO's with 3W, then decided to try out the Tuna Tin 2, and made a few more QSO's. A lot of fun reminded me of my days as KN1VKW and K1VKW, back in the 60ies. Used my old novice keys. Read More

    Its now a tradition for me to work SKN to start the year off right. In my 29 years of hamming, Ive worked many modes from SSB to High Speed Meteor Scatter but the plan ole CW has a charm that cannot be beat.

    Ive also joined the Straight Key Century Cl... Read More

  • Hey, this picture looks like last years!  But instead of my Uncle's J-38, it's a brand new RJ-1.  It is nice having a skirted Navy knob!

    Wonderful hearing so many Old Fashioned style CW signals on 40m! What fun! This is the year I purchased my first brand-new straight key. Made a special trip to HRO to find a decent key on Saturday. Every key I ever had previous to this was used.

    I ... Read More
