Hello all,
The first CWops on-air activity will be the January Mini-CWT contest.
It's a fun event for only 60 minutes on a Wednesday. We'll sponsor this
event every month on the second Wednesday. It's open to members and
non-members.
Here's all the details. It's also on our website under "Events."
*Monthly Mini-CWT Test *
These events will be 60 minutes in duration and held on the second
Wednesday of each month. Only 3 bands are to be used ??? 20, 40, and 80.
Suggested frequencies are from 018 to 028 kHz up from band edges, plus
or minus as activity dictates. There will be 3 events at times that
favor different geographic areas on this same day. A member can
participate in any or all of these. Each of these is also open to
non-members. It will be a good opportunity to meet other CW fans who may
be interested in CWops membership.
*Purpose*: Meet and greet and show activity on the bands. It???s a good
public relations opportunity for CWops for those who haven't heard of us
yet. It???s also an opportunity for interested non-members to garner the
required nominations for membership.
*Times:* Beginning Wednesday, January 13, 2010, and on the second
Wednesday of each month at 1100 - 1200z (favoring Asia/Pacific); 1900 -
2000z (favoring Europe/Africa); and 0300 - 0400z ???Thursday (Wednesday
evening in US/Canada).
*Exchange*: Call CQ CWT. Send: QSO serial number, name, and CWops member
number. Non-members will send QSO serial number, name, and Transmitter
power with a ???w??? following the number (e.g. 100w). This will allow
most operators to use a general-purpose logging program or a paper log
if necessary. A dedicated CWOPs module has been written for N1MM by
Nick, NA3M. It will be included with the next N1MM update. We expect
other logging programs to follow suit shortly.
*Power: *QRP: 5 watts or less.* * Low-100 watts or less. High-over 100
watts.
* Scoring:* The final score can be calculated by counting 1 point per
QSO (work a station once per band only) and multiply total points by the
number of unique calls worked. If you had 75 QSOs with 40 different
calls, your score is 75 x 40. State which power class: QRP, LP, HP.
*Reporting:* Members report scores within 48 hours on our CWOPs
reflector. Non-members can email score to kz5d at aol.com
<mailto:kz5d at aol.com> No logs please; we will use the honor system No
awards presented, simply a listing by score each week on our website and
reflector.
I hope you'll jump in one of the 3 time slots, or even all 3 at least
for some QSOs. See you then.
73,
Art KZ5D
