SKCC - Straight Key Century Club

The Straight Key Century Club is the fastest growing group of mechanical-key CW operators in the world.  First organized in January 2006, our club has grown rapidly to include thousands of licensed amateur radio operators from all corners of the globe.  My number is 2627.

SKCC Straight Key Night (SKN) occurs on the first day of each month.  It is not a contest so there is no need to submit logs.  This operating event was inspired by the ARRL annual Straight Key Night.

Suggested calling frequencies - all frequencies are + or - 10kHz.
