STRAIGHT KEY NIGHT ON OSCAR 2005
Once again AMSAT North America is pleased to sponsor Straight Key Night
on OSCAR for enjoyment by all radio amateurs.
OSCAR SKN 2005 will run for 24 hours, 0000-2400 UTC, on 1 January 2005.
It's very simple: no rules, no scoring, and no need to send in a log.
Just operate CW through any OSCAR satellite using a straight hand key,
working as many other SKN participants as you can. Contacts via the moon
(OSCAR Zero) count too.
Unfortunately, however, this year there again appears to be a distinct
shortage of satellites that will relay CW. As of this writing, only
FO-29 and AO-7 are available. So, please make the best possible use of
those.
As in past years, all participants are requested to nominate one of the
operators they worked for "Best Fist" recognition. Your nominee need not
have the best fist of those you heard, just of those you worked. Please
send all nominations to me at w2rs@amsat.org. A list of those nominated
will be published via the AMSAT News Service in early February, and in
The AMSAT Journal.
[ANS thanks Ray Soifer, W2RS for the above information]
