Summits on the Air (SOTA) has announced a year-long challenge taking place on the 10 metre band. From 1st January 2024 to 31st December 2024, SOTA is encouraging the use of 10 meters as solar cycle 25 is projected to peak.
“There will be a special 10m Challenge results page. But note, lots of you said you don’t want SOTA contests and we listened. There will not be an overall winner or association winners.”
The National Association for Amateur Radio® Straight Key Night (SKN) is held on 1st January 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 favourite straight key or bug. Many participants dust off vintage radios and keys and put them back into service each year just for this event.
