The Straight Key Century Club (SKCC[1]) has enrolled its 25,000th member - the
Florida Island Hoppers, W4USI. The Florida Island Hoppers were granted SKCC
Number 25,000 on October 14.

SKCC was founded in 2006 to promote and preserve the art of manual keying. The
idea caught on quickly, and membership has continued to grow to include members
in Europe, Oceania, and Asia, as well as the US. SKCC members can earn various
awards and participate in sprints using manual devices such as straight keys,
bugs, and sideswipers. The club also supports new and returning CW operators,
and its overarching philosophy is to always be considerate of the other
operator's speed and skill, and to adjust sending accordingly. Membership in
SKCC is free and open to operators of all skill levels.
