As I do every year, I found that this operating activity is possibly the one that best demonstrates the spirt of ham radio. Among the operators that participate, I hear no comments in bad taste, or have any disrespectful QSOs. It is as if the straight ... Read More

This was a very enjoyable night. QSO's were plentiful. I operated about 5 hours the first night and talked to only 5 different stations. This means that rag-chew was the theme. I talked to some old buddies that were present from last year and some new ... Read More

Although I have operated only cw for the 44 years I have been licensed, I have not operated SKN since 1995/1996 because my wife and I have lived in Asia and Africa the last seven years as missionaries. What a joy to hear all those true and legitimate f... Read More

I operated SKN 2004 from 00:00Z thru 09:30Z using

This was my first real SKN but I was very limited in the time I could spend. No matter. Two contacts. The first initially amused me because the ham was not operating in SKN, nor was he a FISTS member, so no points there. However, had the SSB QRM he was... Read More

Operated my old HT-17 and S40B rerceiver on 40M, and Harvey Wells TBS-50C and HQ129X on 80M. Also made one QSO with my Tuna Tin 2 and MRX40 receiver combination. (See picture attached).
Really enjoy firing up the old rigs for nostalgia on SKN. Wish the... Read More -

Despite all the mindless chatter about the demise of Morse, this seemed to be the busiest SKN in recent memory. 40 meters was so crowded that it was a definite incentive to try other bands. There was the usual mix of vintage and modern equipment. J38 k... Read More
