• ARRL Straight Key Night: January 1, 2025

    From ARRL de WD1CKS@VERT/WLARB to QST on Friday, January 10, 2025 19:59:05
    12/25/2024

    ARRL Straight Key Night[1] is January 1, 2025, from 0000 UTC through 2359 UTC.
    This 24-hour event is not a contest but rather a day dedicated to celebrating
    our CW heritage -- radio communications by Morse code.

    Participants are encouraged to get on the air and simply make enjoyable,
    conversational CW QSOs (radio contacts). The use of straight keys or bugs to
    send CW is preferred. There are no points scored and all who participate are
    winners. All authorized amateur frequencies may be used but activity has
    traditionally been centered on the HF bands.

    Entries for Straight Key Night must be received by January 3, 2025. Votes for
    "Best Fist" and "Most Interesting QSO" will be tabulated and included in the
    results. Send your information toÿstraightkey@arrl.org[2]ÿor by mail to ARRL
    Straight Key Night, 225 Main Street, Newington, Connecticut 06111. For more
    information, contactÿcontests@arrl.org[3]ÿor (860) 594-0232.
