week's CWTs will be special slow-speed versions to celebrate the latest CW
Academy graduating class. Please keep your CW speed under 20 wpm to encourage
new graduates to join in. Try to resist the temptation to demonstrate your
speed demon prowess for this one day; that can be more than a little
off-putting to a newcomer. For those of us in North America, a bit of
slow-speed relaxation might be just what the doctor ordered after the pressure
environment of Sweepstakes. <BR><BR><BR>CW Academy graduates will be sending
CWA in place of the member number in the exchange. Other non-members send the
usual state/province/<WBR>country prefix. <BR><BR><BR>Please remember to post
your scores at 3830scores.com - that's how we assess how well the program is
doing, and it's also how we determine eligibility for the participation
medals. This week's special CWTs count toward the medals the same as any other
CWT. Yes, overall scores will be lower this week because of the slower speed,
but your score is not relevant to the awards, as long as you make at least 10
QSOs (5 outside North America and Europe). <BR><BR><BR>73, <BR>Rich VE3KI
