AMSAT SKN on OSCAR 2014 in Memory of W2LV

You are cordially invited to participate in Straight Key Night on OSCAR 2014, sponsored by AMSAT for all radio amateurs throughout the world.

Operate CW through any amateur satellite from 0001 through 2400 UTC on 1 January 2014, using a manual, non-electronic key. Note that bugs are now allowed, as they are in similar ARRL and SKCC events.

There is no need to send in a log, but please nominate someone you worked for Best Fist. Your nominee need not have the best fist of those you heard, just of those you worked. Send your nomination to w2rs at amsat.org.. A list of those nominated will be published in early February.

This year's event is being held in memory of Robert Morris (1902-1997), W2LV. Bob's amateur and professional career in radio literally spanned the era from spark to satellite. One of the first to work across the Atlantic in 1923, he also received Satellite DXCC No. 2 in 1979. Bob was featured in the PBS-TV documentary, "Empire of the Air."

[ANS thanks Ray, W2RS, for the above information]
