Calling all CW operators! January is the month to put your paddle in the drawer and dust off your straight key. If you have cooties or bugs in your ham shack, you can use them, too! It’s time for the 19th annual Straight Key Month, hosted by the Straight Key Century Club.

Throughout the month, you can work K3Y stations in all the US call areas, including Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico. In addition, stations from regions within the IARU membership in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania and South America will also be on the air.

Taking their cue from the ARRL’s long-running Straight Key Night every 1st January 2025, the SKCC extends the event from the 2nd to the 31st of the month. Whether you’re a seasoned operator or just beginning your CW journey, you’ll find Straight Key Month to be a great deal of fun while increasing your skills.
