My first SKN in more years than I care to remember! I see now what I've been missing. I had the old and the new, right there on my operating desk: a Lionel J-38 straight key that belonged to my dad, WA4AZJ (SK) and was my first Novice key in 1962, an... Read More

SKN was a lot of fun! I especially enjoyed my QSO with W6BNB whose been a ham since the early 1930's. Nice to know that good ole' CW is STILL alive and well in 2008. A lot of great fists out there on the HF bands!

SKN 2008
SKN is a special event for me. It reminds me how lucky I am to be able to operate a radio station and contact so many fine people around the world.
I had a number of good ragchews this year, and I think it is remarkable at how good all the co... Read More
