Straight Key Night
New Zealand Straight Key Night - normally held on the first Sunday in November - will be held this year on the first Sunday in December, from 9pm to 10pm on 80 metres.SKN honours the roots of amateur radio: Morse Code sent with a straight key (no bugs, sideswipers, keyers or keyboards).
All levels of CW skill are welcome in this event. There are certificates for the three stations working the most QSOs, and all participants are invited to nominate an operator for the Best Fist Award.
SKN has a unique exchange that includes not just RST, but also type of key, type of transmitter and power output. There are special log sheets available so that it's easy to keep track of this information.
