  • Nye Master Key

    01/02/2007 | W5TB

    After many years of procrastination I finally did get on for SKN and managed 4 very pleasant QSOs with the Nye Master key as my XYL watched the Rose Bowl Parade. Took me back to 1959 when as KN7JOX I used a WWII surplus J38 mounted on a pine board to k... Read More

    01/02/2007 | K1Y/4 AND K4VD

    This SKN was special for me because it was the first time working as a Straight Key Century Club member. I've spent the last year as an SKCC member getting plenty of practice on the air and meeting many fine CQ operators. When SKN finally arrived, it w... Read More

    I only had time to make one QSO with W8FJB in St. Ignace, MI but it sure was fun!! As I do in my SKCC contacts, I used my Ukrainian Military key. Hopefully next year I'll have a bit more time and make a bunch more QSO's.

    Sure was nice to hear 40 filled... Read More

    I always anticipate some great operating on Straight Key Night, and, as usual, SKN 2007 lived up to my expectations. While I only made 6 QSOs, all were interesting, and enjoyable. The keying chores this year were handled by my Brelco Flameproof key (fr... Read More

    I'm still working on mastery of a keyer and use a straight key all the time for NAQCC sprints and FISTS contacts, as well as contests. But it's great to hear so many other CW ops on for SKN. I hope we keep up the activity for the rest of the year! Read More

    Once again it was great to work SKN. I had the time to work only four stations, in four states, two on 80-Meters, one on 40 and one on 30, but the QSOs were very enjoyable. My old calls were KC3YD and KA3LPJ. Got out of radio for about 10 years but got... Read More
