[bars] Straight Key Night starts Friday at 7 PM - Who will be on from BARS?

[Andy Wallace]

I plan to be on with a long marine style straight key, then as fatigue sets in, a sideswiper (“cootie”) key, then probably my KN4YB right angle bug! :)

Will be listening for familiar calls.

Never done Straight Key Night (SKN)  before?  
SKN is a 24 Hour period starting at 7 PM Friday through 7 PM Saturday.  Operate as much or as little as you wish.  Send ARRL a list
of your contacts and vote for best fist, best contact.    

Friday night starting at 7 is usually the busiest time.  All authorized Amateur frequencies, but activity has traditionally been
centered on the HF bands.  Most activity will probably be on 80/40/20/15/10 .  

Work anybody including DX. 
Call or answer a CQ SKN. 

Want some inspiration ahead of time? 
Read about earlier SKN's by going  to http://www.arrl.org/contest-results-articles and select SKN for a particular year.  

How many BARS Folks plan to be on?
