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, 00:00-24:00 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.

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 Ray Soifer at w2rs@amsat.org
