[SESprint] Announcment: New Mid-Week Contest Activity Begins Next Week

[John T. Laney III]

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
