SILENT KEY NIGHT

Announcing a new on air operating event:  Silent Key Night
Beginning midnight, April 1 till the bands are dead will be an opportunity
to resurrect those long lost contacts and reconnect to the old timers who
have gone QRT.  In the spirit of ham radio let’s get on the air for this
special event and see how many silent keys we can raise.
 
Use any mode or medium such as CW, Phone, or séance.  You may want to use an
antenna that has a strong vertical signal and point the antenna up toward
the heavens, or, depending on which silent key operator you work, you may
want the reverse radiation pattern.

If you hear a distant, ghostly sound, it may possibly be one of the old time
silent key operators buried in a pileup.  This may be the perfect excuse you
need to try to resurrect one of your dead rigs.
Don’t pass away an opportunity to operate from a unique location such as a
local morgue or in a cemetery. But plan ahead. If your batteries die, this
will indeed be a grave situation.

Score:
One point per silent key contact.
One half point for each “ghost contact” (That is where you think you worked
them but weren’t really sure).
Bonus: 1000 bonus points for working The Old Man himself.
You qualify for a special certificate if you yourself are a silent key.

Doesn’t be a deadbeat; join the fun on Silent Key Night, where the bands
will be alive.
