CW Open on September 5

Dear members:

Our annual contest – CW Open – will be held on September 5. It is 
actually 3 separate 4-hour contests where each one is separately scored 
and awarded. You can participate in just one, two or all three sessions. 
Each session starts anew, with QSO number 1 and no multipliers. You have 
three chances to win a beautiful glass trophy and/or a category (HP, LP 
or QRP) plaque. And, for the second year, we are awarding trophies and 
plaques to winners in each ITU region (1, 2 and 3). So, contesters in 
one region are really only competing with contesters in that same region.

The rules stay the same. You receive 1 point per QSO per band per 
session; and 1 multiplier per callsign worked per session. So, the best 
way to accumulate a lot of points is to work as many different 
callsigns, per session, as you can. The exchange is QSO number and name 
(e.g. 4 John). There are several logs that support CW Open (see 
www.cwops.org/cwopen.html).

The 3 sessions are at:

0000 to 0359Z,

1200 to 1559Z

2000 to 2359Z

QSOs with other members all count toward your ACA, CMA, WAE, WAS and DX 
totals for 2015, plus you may win a very special trophy or plaque. More 
important, the club needs as many of you as can participate to please do 
so. Contests are fun, and the more players there are, the more fun they are.

Take a look at the session times above and see if you can participate in 
even one of them. If you can, please do so. We need you.
