ARRL Straight Key Night 2024
12/24/2023
ARRL, The National Association for Amateur Radio® Straight Key Night (SKN) is held on January 1, 2024, from 0000 UTC through 2359 UTC.
Many hams look forward to SKN as one of the highlights of their operating year.
Operators participate using Morse code (CW). All you need is your favorite straight key or bug. Many participants dust off vintage radios and keys and put them back into service each year just for this event.
SKN is not a contest, so there’s no need for quick exchanges. However, all hand keys, regardless of age, are welcome. The number of contacts you make is not important. The reward is meeting new friends as you get together on the air.
Send a list of stations contacted, SKN stories and photos, and your votes for Best Fist and Most Interesting QSO to [email protected] by
January 31, 2024.
