手键之夜——新年第一天的传统项目

Straight Key Night is a New Year’s Day Tradition

Every day is a good day to operate on CW, but set some time aside on New Year’s Eve and Day to enjoy Straight Key Night (SKN). The annual event gets under way a 000 UTC on January 1 (New Year’s Eve in US time zones). The 24 hour event is not a contest but a day dedicated to celebrating our CW heritage. Participants are encouraged to get on the air and simply make enjoyable, conversational CW contacts, preferably using a straight (hand) key or a semi-automatic key (bug). Activity traditionally centers on CW segments in the HF bands. There are no points or obligatory exchange. The only requirement is just to have fun!

一年通常大部分时间用CW模式通联都是畅通无比的，但新年前夜（12月31日）及新年（1月1日）一整天这段时间就要大堵车了，因为每年“手键之夜”比赛将在1月1日国际标准时间0点闪亮登场（美国按时区划分时间是12月31日新年前夜）。持续24小时的“手键之夜”活动不为比赛而是火腿专为纪念CW传统而设立的。该活动鼓励通联者用手键或半自动键在CW模式下进行常规通联，一般集中分布在短波频段下CW可用频段内操作。没有通联和卡片交换义务，玩的开心就好！

Send your SKN list of stations work and your votes for “” and “Most Interesting QSO” by January 31.

在1月31日前，发送手键之夜通联的电台清单并选出最佳搭档和最有趣的QSO。

Concurrent with the ARRL Straight Key Night, AMSAT will hold its own SKN on OSCAR 2015, this year dedicated to the memory of Ben Stevenson, W2BXA, who died in 2011. Operate CW through any amateur satellite from on New Year’s Day 2016, using a manual (ie, non-electronic) key. No log is necessary, but AMSAT also asks for “Best Fist” nominees via e-mail to Ray Soifer, W2RS.

ARRL手键之夜举行的同时，AMSAT将在其业余卫星OSCAR 2015上举办自己的手键之夜纪念活动以此纪念在2011年逝去的Ben Stevenson, W2BXA。2016年新年第一天通过业余无线电卫星使用手键（不允许使用自动键）进行CW通联操作，虽然没有要求记录通联日志，但是AMSAT也要求参与最佳搭档的候选人评选，参与评选可以电子邮件给Ray Soifer, W2RS.

Stevenson, who was licensed in 1929, was one of the world’s top DXers on HF and satellites and held Satellite DXCC No 1. He was the founding president of the North Jersey DX Association.

北泽西DX协会创始人兼主席Stevenson，1929年获得电台执照，他是在短波和卫星通联领域世界顶尖的业余无线电远征通联者，并获得DXCC卫星通联第一名。
