For those of you who want to do slower Morse contacts, tonight and tomorrow is the day there will be lots. Straight key, bug, or sideswiper only, no keyers.  

I love SKN every year. When my dad was alive we used to work each other. 

Basically instead of calling CQ, call SKN. SKN SKN DE KA1GTT KA1GTT AR K. And instead of RST you give SKN 599 etc. Very relaxed. 

Note the link below - W1AW will be on the air for this. Also below is an ad I just got today from ARRL about CW learning materials and a code oscillator on sale. 

SKN runs 0000UTC thru 2359UTC so 24h of enjoyment first thing for the New Year. 

I will be on with a few of my keys, maybe even with the one I invented.
