This was my first SKN and I had a wonderful time! I had limited time to operate with family obligations pulling me out of the shack.

I had a great time. In spite of not having used a straight key for 25 years or so, it was lots of fun. It was also very nice to hear so much activity. 40 was actually so crowded, I switched to 80 for more elbow room. I could not operate as much as I wa... Read More
