From the sound of things here, CW is far from dead! This was my 4th SKN and the first with my new vanity call sign.

I really enjoyed SKN this new year 2007. I highly support CW on the amateur bands as it always has been, and am disappointed that Morse Code proficiency is no longer required for an amateur license in the USA.

This was my second time to participate in Straight Key Night and it proved to be as much fun as the time before (2006).
I worked 15 stations, 11 states. For a key I used a British WT-8 tank key from the World War 2 era. For a rig I used my Heath SB-1... Read More -

Once again I got on the air to enjoy SKN, and join the chorus of other hams who still love CW! Activity was very high; I made 26 contacts, from 80 mtrs to 15 mtrs. I used an old Russian student key from my collection, made in Moscow by the Fpeelektrop... Read More
