  • Radiating SKN into the New Year!

    01/02/2007 | KD6WKY

    I worked ten stations during SKN, including one JA. It's been ten years since I put my fingers on a straight key; it reminded me of those first few weeks of Navy Morse Code School in San Diego back in the early 70's.

    I had lots of fun working SKN of... Read More

  • Testing The New To Me TS-930S While Working On A New HV Power Supply For a GLA-1000B That I Am Converting To Run A GI7B On 50 Mhz.

    01/02/2007 | K7XC

    For me, SKN means 160M at its finest. Nothing comes closer to oldtime Ham Radio than the pure joy of working 2000+ miles on the lowest frequencies we operate. Used a new to me TS930S that is need of some work, but it did well for this event. The Key is... Read More

  • 1944 AN/PRC-1 OSS Radio Set

    01/02/2007 | K9VKY

    Another great SKN has come and gone! As with previous SKN adventures, this one was filled with quality QSOs in lieu of the cookie cutter, hello and good-bye fare so prevalent these days. Meeting some old friends and making some new ones was the orde... Read More

    Great SKN, as always. I've been licensed since 1959 and have participated in as many SKNs as I could during the ensuing years. (Careers in the U. S. navy submarine service followed by missionary service in DU, XU, and TL8 pre-empted QRV a few of thos... Read More

    My third SKN and, again, a whole lot of fun. Thanks to K6FIG, W0BXS, W7UYJ, NJ7M, KB1LZH, and KJ5XF for enduring my fist and giving me 100% more QSO's than last year. Also, thanks to WD6DBM and K7SU for the warmup QSO's.

    Pictured is my 1950's Speed-X... Read More

    SKN arrived, and I was all set to operate when I discovered my trusty Eico 720 was only sending 15 watts to my 40 meter loop. Instead of tearing the rig apart, I decided to let the loop do most of the work. Conditions on 40 were excellent; the qso's w... Read More

  • Navy Flameproof

    01/02/2007 | NT9K

    Now that was an active SKN! I heard it all, fast code, slow code, good fists, sloppy fists and lots of SKCC members. I tried using my FT-101 but I'm getting lazy and the QRN caused me to switch to the TS-870 for its filtering. The key I used was a Navy... Read More
