I totally enjoyed SKN again this year. Great fists and extremely interesting qso's, hard to pick just one. KB1LZH was one that stood out. Meeting a retired Navy sub captain (W1DV) who also was at Subic Bay as I was in 69. The shack was warmed nicely b... Read More

This was my first SKN since I got back into the hobby last year. I was first licensed as a Novice in 1978 as a 15 year old but after many years flying in the USAF, I was off the air. The only keys I own and operate are straight keys so SKN was great.... Read More

To say that I had fun would be an understatement. This was my first SKN, although I had wanted to do it for many years. As is often the case, though, something comes up -- plans are made and New Year's Eve and day disappear into a jumble of turkey, d... Read More
