I operated SKN 2004 from 00:00Z thru 09:30Z using
a Johnson Valiant, Drake R4B and my original J-38
from my Novice days. SKN, as always, was very enjoyable
and there seemed to be an abundance of brass pounders
this year. I had 13 QSO's, most of which w... Read More -

This was my first real SKN but I was very limited in the time I could spend. No matter. Two contacts. The first initially amused me because the ham was not operating in SKN, nor was he a FISTS member, so no points there. However, had the SSB QRM he was... Read More

Really enjoy firing up the old rigs for nostalgia on SKN. Wish the... Read More -

Worked two stations with an old Radio Shack straight key which my father bought me and my brother while in Cub Scouts. Ran the Icom 706 MKIIG at 5 watts to an indoor 15 meter dipole. Lots of fun!

This was the 25th anniversary of my first QSO. My novice license arrived in late December 1978 and I got on the air for the first time as KA3CEM during SKN 1979. My equipment now is a little different - a Ten-Tec Omni VI+ with a Nye-Viking Master Key... Read More
