[CQ-Contest] CWops Tests Wednesday/Thursday

[Hank Garretson]

Records were broken three weeks ago. N4AF got yet another CWT Hat Trick.
Howie also set a new all-time CWT score of 10,881 in the 0300Z session: 117
Qs x 93 multipliers. Bravo Howie. N6RO set a new all-time CWT QSO count of
135 QSOs. Bravo Ken.

I've been remiss in acknowledging Low-Power Hat Tricks. The first was by
N5AW way back in June 2011, with a second in July 2011, and a third in June
2013. Wow! The second operator to LP Hat Trick was NW2K in April 2013. WJ9B
completed the first-three-to LP Hat Trick three weeks ago. Bravo Marv,
Dean, and Will. We are sending you CWops hats.

We still have two HP and three LP Hat Trick hats ready to send. Who will be
the proud recipients?

This week there will be three fun one-hour sessions.
http://www.cwops.org/cwt.html . Everyone welcome--you don't have to be a
CWops member to join the fun.

I continue to record all my CWT QSOs over all three sessions. If you would
like to hear your signal at W6SX, email me, and I'll send you short MP3
files of our contacts.

Ten meters rally, 28.028 at 1930Z.

Fifteen was open to the east coast for me at 0300Z last time--lots more
propagation than stations. I worked 23 station before I switched to twenty
at 0311Z. I'll start on fifteen again this time. Give fifteen a try at
0300Z.

Please note that lots of logging software supports our CWops Tests. See
http://www.cwops.org/software.html . Thank you logging software authors and
teams.

Lots of Qs or just a few, please report your results at
http://www.3830scores.com/ .

The first rule of CW is to have fun and to share the fun.

CW Exuberantly,
