    I won't say I made a great "performance", but it was a great event to "get together" again this year.

    It was nice to have quiet geomagnetic conditions, especially on 80 and 40 meters. I could hear and contact many stations that I wouldn't have heard o... Read More

    DP1POL is located at Neumayer Station, Antarctica, Grid Locator
    IB59VI. I have been working here as a radio operator since December
    2002, and will leave at the end of January 2004. I have had a great

    I had lots of fun with the event. I was a little disappointed by the very small number of PSK operations during the two days.

    For next year I would recommend:

    -- Include PSK63 as a permissible mode. It is excellent for high speed contesting.

    -- Allow ... Read More

    As usual, SKN was great and it's always an honor to be participating. I made only three contacts but I have a tendancy to be a bit long winded. The highlight QSO was with Kathy, KS6CW, who was operating with the call sign W6MTC, the call for the Morse ... Read More

  • The SKN rig at KA9P - all older than the op!

    01/04/2004 | KA9P

    Neat. Expectations ran high the week before as I fought to get my 51J1 (SN1, bottom left) and 310B3 (about 10 watts, top right) running before the end of the year. Barely made it and was it a blast.

    Especially enjoyed the 10 meter QSOs with the Wes... Read More

    Once again a GREAT way to end the old year and usher in the new with Ham Radio! This is my annual ritual of bringing out my ORIGINAL Heathkit AT-1 and getting it operational for SKN! This year I even changed out the electrolytics in the power supply ev... Read More

  • The SKN station which gets used most evenings

    01/04/2004 | KW3U

    This was another wonderful SKN for me, With 8 qso's using my Johnson Viking Adventurer and HQ-180 rcvr, the key most used was my Chinese PLA army key(can be seen at www.morsex.com).
    Oldest fellow worked was Ed VE3GX in Ottawa at 82 with a RR key(shu... Read More

  • 01/04/2004 | K2AKW

    After being licensed for 51 years, this was my first SKN night. I only made one contact: 40 meters: KA2REY. I used my ICOM IC-706 at 5 watts, but increased it to 30 watts due to QRM. Have been studying CW to try to get my speed up after no CW activity ... Read More
