This Week's Contests:
1. CWOps Club CWT Mini Tests. Every Wednesday. Three separate one-hour
mini-tests. 1300Z, 1900Z, 0300Z (Thursday UTC). 160-10M CW. Exchange:
Name + CWOps# or SPC. Look around 026-042 kHz on each band and up
from 1815 kHz.
2. NCCC RTTY Ladder Series. 0145-0215Z Friday (Thursday night local
day). 15, 20, 40, 80, 160M RTTY. 100W maximum power. One/one kHz QSY
rule. Exchange: Both calls, #, name, SPC. Look around 080 kHz on each
band plus up from 1805 kHz. Same band dupes permitted after one
intervening QSO.
3. NCCC NS Sprint CW Practice. 0230-0259Z Friday (Thursday night local
day). 15, 20, 40, 80, 160M CW. 100W maximum power. One/one kHz QSY
rule. Exchange: both calls, #, name, SPC. Look around 040 kHz on each
band plus up from 1815 kHz. No same band dupes permitted for score credit.
4. FOC QSO Party, sometimes called the "Bill Windle QSO Party" or
"BWQP." This takes place twice a year and is open to all hams as
opposed to the FOC Marathons in February, which are for members only.
This is a good time to get your call known if you'd like to be
considered for an invitation to membership to FOC in the future.
Saturday 24 hours of the UTC day. 160-VHF CW. Exchange: RST + Name +
FOC# if you have one. (Just a word of warning. If you want an
invitation to membership, just be QRV and work FOC members, but it is
grounds for a six month disqualification if you ask someone to sponsor you.)
5. World All Europe DX Contest, SSB. 48 hours of Sat and Sun UTC. 36
hours maximum for single ops. 80-10M SSB. Exchange: RS + serial #.
You may earn additional points by sending QTCs, consisting of the time
call and serial # received from other Eu stations. Up to 10 QTC may be
sent to an European station. You may not send the same QTC to more than
one European station. You may participate and make QSOs and not send
QTCs if you don't want to. There is a club aggregate score competition
so be sure to put your club's name in the Cabrillo header. For SECC.
Spell it out: "South East Contest Club." This is a qualifier for WTRC
2018 in Germany, so I'd expect a lot of activity.
6. Kulikovo Polye Contest. 24 hours of Saturday UTC. 20M CW only.
Exchange: RST + Serial # or "KP" if you are from that area.
7. South African Relay League (SARL) Field Day. 10Z Sat to 10Z Sun.
160-10M CW, SSB, Digital. Exchange: RS(T) + # of transmitters +
Category + ZS Province abbreviation or "DX." So, a home station in the
USA would send RS(T) 1F DX.
8. Straight Key Century Club Weekend Sprintathon. 1200Z Sat to 2400Z
Sun. Use mechanical key only. 160-6M CW. Exchange: RST + SPC + Name +
SKCC# or "NONE." Use letter from the calls of stations in the log to
spell out certain football team mascot names for 100 bonus points per
name. If a name has two words in it, you get 50 bonus points if you can
spell out only one of the two names. Of course, you can't use the same
letter in a call more than once to spell out the various names.
The names are: BUCKEYES, HORNED FROGS, CRIMSON TIDE, BEARS (no doubt
for my Mercer U Bears), SPARTANS, TIGERS, DUCKS, TROJANS, BULL DOGS,
SEMINOLES. You can get a SKCC# free from their website.
9. Arkansas QSO Party. 1400Z Sat to 0200Z Sun. 80-2M CW, Ph, Dig.
Exchange: RS(T) + S/P/DX or AR County. 200 bonus points for each non
duplicate QSO with K5NE and AA5AR.
10. Ohio State Parks on the Air. 1600Z to 2400Z Sat. 80-10M SSB.
Exchange: S/P/DX or Ohio Park Abbreviations. Non park stations in Ohio
will send their state: OH.
11. ARRL September VHF Contest. 1800Z Sat to 0300Z Sun. 50 mHz and
up. Exchange: 4 character grid square (for example FM72).
12. NCJ North American Sprint. CW. 20, 40, 80M CW. Exchange: Both
calls, #, name, SOC, One to Five kHz QSY rule. THERE IS A TEAM
COMPETITION FOR TEAMS OF TWO TO TEN MEMBERS. Please e-mail K4BAI right
away if you want to be on a team for this fun event.
13. Phone Fray. Every Tuesday night local date. 0230-0250Z Friday UTC.
15, 20, 40, 80, 160M SSB. 100W maximum power. No QSY rule. Exchange:
Name + SPC.
14. North American QRP CW Club Contest. 0030Z to 0230Z Thursday of
next week (Wed night local date next week). 20, 40, 80M CW. 5W maximum
power. Exchange: RST + SPC + NAQCC# or power. Double your score for
using a hand key and 1 1/2 times your score for using a bug. Lot of
fun. You can get a NAQCC # free via the NAQCC website.
15. 20M QRP Fox Extravaganza. Thursday of next week (Friday UTC date).
0100-0230Z. All of the summer season's foxes should be QRV to give
out pelts to deserving hounds between 14050 and 14070 kHz. Exchange is
RST, SPC, Name, Power. Run no more than 5 watts and do not spot the
foxes' frequencies.
Hope everyone has a nice week and weekend. 73, John, K4BAI.
