SKN on OSCAR 2010

All radio amateurs, worldwide, are cordially invited to participate in AMSAT's Straight Key Night on OSCAR 2010.

Participating in SKN on OSCAR 2010 is easy. No rules, no scoring and no need to send in a log.

Just operate CW through any OSCAR between 0000 and 2400 UTC on 1 January 2010, using a straight hand key.

The AMSAT AO-51 Operations Group reminds everyone that AO-51 will be configured to support CW operations during the annual Straight Key Night event.

Participants may operate CW through AO-51 between 0000 and 2400 UTC on 1 January 2010, using a straight hand key.

AO-51 will be configured in the following mode during the event:
SSB/FM Repeater, V/U (CW QSOs only on Straight Key Night)
Uplink: 145.880 MHz USB
Downlink: 435.150 MHz FM

In keeping with the friendly nature of this event, all participants are encouraged to nominate someone they worked for "Best Fist." Your nominee need not have the best fist of those you heard, just of those you worked.

Please send your nomination to w2rs@amsat.org.
A list of those nominated will appear in ANS and The AMSAT Journal.
