It's never too late to dust off that old straight key, find that saw blade
cootie key, or clean the contacts off that 1915 Blue Racer with cobalt blue
base because SKN 2018 is just 20 days away!

Add some vacuum tube radio transmitting equipment or your old 1950s crystal
controlled Heathkit transmitter or that old EICO 720, the possibilities are
endless - and you will have constructed a wonderful evening to enjoy!

New Years Day Jan 1, 2018   0000 - 2359UTC


Objective: This 24-hour event is not a contest; rather it is a day dedicated
to celebrating our CW heritage. Participants are encouraged to get on the
air and simply make enjoyable, conversational CW QSOs. The use of straight
keys, sideswipers (cootie key) or bugs to send CW is preferred.

There are no points scored and all who participate are winners.


We are getting set up for SKN 2018 .... 1956 Mighty 4 watter .....
single 50L6 tube ...  80 and 40 CW XTAL controlled.
