K3Y and the K3UK Sked Page

*

Despite having achieved my first QSO on December 30th, I was disappointed that I was unable to make contact with my QRP rig during the 24 hour ARRL Straight Key Night. Luckily, there is another Morse code event happening throughout the month of January 2016, which is the SKCC K3Y event.

While reading about this event, I learned about a page that I think I will be using every time I turn on the radio within sight of an internet-connected computer, which is the K3UK Sked Page, where folks from all of the CW groups are letting others know what they are monitoring on the radio spectrum, and what frequencies they're transmitting on. This will be a huge help in setting up skeds outside of contest times.
