The Straight Key Night runs from 00:00 to 23:59 UTC on Saturday 1 January 2022 and this 24-hour event is not a contest – rather it is a day dedicated to celebrating our CW heritage.

Participants are encouraged to get on the air and simply make enjoyable conversational CW QSOs. The use of straight keys or bugs to send CW is preferred. There are no points scored and all who take part are winners.

You are requested to vote for ‘Best Fist’ and "Most Interesting QSO” on your list of contacts by including ‘Best Fist’ or "Most Interesting QSO” in the comments field.

There is an Excel log sheet available on the Contest Page on the SARL website.
