Hi again,
While on my evening constitutional (it's light enough now after 7 pm local) it
occurred to me I'd left out an important item about the CWops.
You do not need to be a CWops member to play in their contests. If you have a
call, a name, and live on planet Earth (S/P/C, maybe /MM?) you can participate.
To join and get a number, four digits currently, you have to meet the
nomination requirements as outlined here:
http://cwops.org/bylaws.html
The CW speed for membership is 25 wpm, but start wherever you are and work your
way up. I think you will do fine in the SS at 25 wpm. Even less, really, as
the long exchange serves as a kind of speed governor for many, including me.
I myself am not a member, so all this advocacy is pro bono. I join in on
occasion but want to keep my life simple.
73,
AB1J KEN MA
