#StraightKeyNight

I've *barely* re-learned the CW alphabet from when I first learned it in 2001 (so I could ID repeater callsigns). I have zero practice with transmitting.

I think they sent my antenna by packmule, so I gotta sit this one out. But if there was ever a night to bust out my first QSO, it'd be the night EVERYBODY is sort of fumbling (except those that do straight key always of course). Happy #SKN everybody!

Start your CW journey in 2025 or continue that journey during the #ARRL #StraightKeyNight TONIGHT. I'll be using my Novice #Straightkey from 1963 #AmateurRadio #Hamradio #MorseCode

Listening to some #StraightKeyNight #MorseCode QSO’s on the #CountyCommGP5ssb radio and monitoring 2m / 70cm for simplex #WinterHeat calls on the #AnyTone878uv while processing messages at work tonight. I have headphones - otherwise my coworkers would hate me. #SKN

My radios and scanner on the office desk at work tonight. New Year’s Eve 2023 into 2024.

Since more rain and possible snow are imminent, I set up my outdoor antenna this morning for #StraightKeyNight and to make some #SKCC #K3Y contacts over the next couple of days before I have to get back to being a productive member of society. Happy end to 2023, all. #HamRadio

@N0ZB @K5KHK @yellowspanner @ve3qbz I like the straight key and the bug. Iambic is for poetry. #MorseCode Anyone doing #StraightKeyNight if that's still a thing?
