I apologise for the lack of formatting on the previous message!  For  some 
odd reason my outgoing messages are occasionally missing all the blank  lines, 
so the paragraph spacing get lost.  Here it is in a slightly more  readable 
format:

.
TO ALL UK CW OPERATORS
.
You are invited to join the 22nd annual UK 10-band CW table, starting  
1st January 2004.
.
WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT THEN?
.
The purpose of  the table is to encourage CW activity on the HF bands and
six metres. Each  year participants start afresh and work as many DXCC
entities on each of the  ten bands as possible between 0000Z on 1st January
and 2359Z on 31st  December. All UK Radio Amateurs are welcome to
participate. You do not have  to be active on all bands to make an entry. 
You just have to make some QSOs  using Morse Code! 
.
All CW QSOs count: rag chewing, contests, general  DXing. No QSL cards are
required: you are on your honour to report your score  honestly. There are
no prizes, it's just a bit of fun and it helps to keep CW  activity going
throughout the year.
.
HOW DO I  PARTICIPATE?
.
Scores can be submitted to the table manager, G3WGV in the  following ways: 
.
* Via Internet e-mail to cw at g3wgv.com (preferred route)  
.
* Via the UK Packet Cluster, mail sent to G3WGV
.
Your score  should be set weekly as of 2000Z on the Sunday. If you send
your score in by  2000Z the following Tuesday, it will be included in that
week's tabulation.  Send your score as a single line of text in the
following format: 
.
00  11 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 99 TT DD 
.
Where: 
.
00  is your  in-year DXCC score for 1.8MHz
11  is your in-year DXCC score for  3.5MHz
22  is your in-year DXCC score for 7.0MHz
33  is your  in-year DXCC score for 10.1MHz
44  is your in-year DXCC score for  14.0MHz
55  is your in-year DXCC score for 18.0MHz
66  is your  in-year DXCC score for 21.0MHz
77  is your in-year DXCC score for  24.9MHz
88  is your in-year DXCC score for 28.0MHz
99  is your  in-year DXCC score for 50.0MHz 
.
TT  is the sum [00..99] i.e. the  sum of all the band scores 
.
DD is your all-bands DXCC total for the  year. 
.
NB: any band scores that are zero must be shown as such.  
.
An example:
.
5 17 21 0 125 14 101 4 75 1 363 127
.
This  means that I have worked 5 DXCC Entities on 160m, 17 on 80m, etc. My
total  number of band lots is 363 and my all-bands DXCC total is 127.
.
You can,  of course include other comments with your e-mail.  I am  always
interested to hear your news and if it's of interest to the rest of  the
group then I will attach it to that week's table, unless you ask me not  to.
.
HOW DO I SEE THE TABLE?
.
Tables are published weekly as  follows: 
.
* Via the UK Packet Cluster, as a bulletin to "UK".
.
*  Via the Internet as an e-mail message. 
.
To obtain the table via Internet  e-mail, please send an e-mail to  
<ukcwtable-subscribe at yahoogroups.com>. This will request inclusion in  the
distribution list. The subject and content fields are completely  ignored
by the registration process, so if your callsign is not obvious from  your
e-mail address, please send me a separate e-mail with your  callsign.
.
WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?
.
The 2004 table has just  started. Start keeping track of your scores and
submit them to me as shown  above. That's it! It's really a lot of fun -
it makes having those QSOs with  UA3 on al bands worthwhile and it will
amaze you how your score can mount  up, especially if you take part in a
few contests along the way.
.
I  look forward to welcoming you to the UK CW table. Any questions,  just
ask.
.
73, John
