Amsat Straight Key Night on OSCAR 2006

Once again, AMSAT-NA is pleased to sponsor Straight Key Night on OSCAR for enjoyment by all radio amateurs.

OSCAR SKN 2006 will run for 24 hours, 0000-2400 UTC, on 1 January 2006.

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 via w2rs@arrl.net (Note the new address. My old address, w2rs@amsat.org, only works sporadically now due to ISP problems at this end.)

A list of those nominated will be published via the AMSAT News Service in early February, and in The AMSAT Journal.
