Another great SKN. This year used my Heathkit HW-16 with 3 crystals. With crystals for 7010, 7019.5 & 7050 KHz I was able to work 40 and 15 meters with 50 watts. All QSO's lasted around 30 minutes. That old U.S. Navy Flameproof key felt really good. It... Read More

GA, OMs! Happy New Year--hope you all had a good SKN!
I only had one SKN QSO, but it was a dandy. Chatted for almost an hour with my friend Ray KG2B on 7040 kHz--the first QSO of the year for both of us. Ray was running his old FT301D, while I was r... Read More -

I always look forward to SKN. I use a key with a sounder that is over 90 yrs.old. It belonged to a family friend who was a U.S.N. radioman in WW1 & WW2. My wrist does get tired now. My most intersting QSO was with W8YRB who was using 2 1901 pennies sol... Read More
