K3Y Straight Key Month runs January 2 through 31. This is one of my
favorite on-air activities. In case you are not familiar, here is the announcement:

It is active on all bands including WARC. I like that it gives me a feeling
for propagation and activity on 12, 17 and 30m. To operate you would
need to obtain an SKCC number, but that is easy and free. I'm not a great fan
of straight keys nor bugs and I especially dislike cooties but the event is enough fun
to make it worthwhile. I have done well in the last two, with
band slot totals in the top 10%. I heard K3/KH6 on 80m last year but he
did not hear me.
