The Straight Key Century Club Honor Roll recognizes members who exemplify the ideals of the Straight Key Century Club. The inaugural Honor Roll members are keeping alive the traditions of CW operation through their on-air activities and have become Top Operators for the club.
Inductees into the Honor Roll have earned the recognition and respect of the Straight Key Century Club membership. Induction into the Honor Roll cannot be refused and is irrevocable.
Let it be known, that the following members have earned Straight Key Century Club's highest operating honor, without whom the Straight Key Century Club would not be as well known as it is today.
