Hi Guys,<br>
I received the following message from Bruce, and
know that several of you are already participating in these short events.
They do encourage participation, stir the competitive juices, and give a
chance to buff some of the dust off those CW skills. It may not be for
everybody, but with the sessions being so short, it may just be what some
need, while not requiring the dedication of an entire day or weekend.
They do allow team competition, so maybe we can have some LCC teams??
Give it a try and have fun!<br><br>
73,<br>
Mark, K5ER<br>

Bruce Meier (N1LN) has taken on the responsibility to assist with the
promotion of an upcoming worldwide CW event. He forwarded the
following information which many club officers are sharing with their
members. If you have any questions please feel free to email him
directly at:
<a href="mailto:n1ln@arrl.net" target="_blank">n1ln@arrl.net</a>.<br><br>
Have you ever heard of the CW Operators Club? If not, it is a
global organization that was founded in 2010 for the single purpose of
promoting the use of CW. There are currently 1256 members
worldwide. A few of the activities include hosting weekly
on-the-air activities, provides CW training (known as CW Academy) and
runs an annual CW Open contest. For more about the club please
refer to:
<a href="http://www.cwops.org/" target="_blank">http://www.cwops.org/</a>
For more information about the CW Open please
read on.<br><br>
The CW Open is made up of (3) separate 4 hour events that all occur on
the same day. This year the event date is September 3, 2016.
<br><br>
Session 1 is from 0000 - 0400Z. <br>
Session 2 is from 1200 – 1600Z.<br>
Session 3 is from 2000 – 2400Z<br><br>
All amateurs worldwide are invited to participate as you don’t need to be
a CWOps club member. There is only one category (Single
Operator) and one mode (CW of course). You also get to select
your power category from QRP, Low Power to High Power.
The exchange is also quite simple and includes only your QSO number and
name. (ie: 25 Bruce) As the
event sessions are standalone, please send your individual Carbrillo
formatted submissions to
<a href="http://www.b4h/net/cwops/" target="_blank">http://www.b4h/net/cwops/</a>
. NOTE: Paper logs are not
accepted. Just a couple more facts. For a
list of computer logging programs that support the CW Open please refer
to:
<a href="http://www.cwops.org/cwopen/html" target="_blank">www.cwops.org/cwopen/html</a>
. Finally, many of us like to participate as a team
member which is very popular for the CW Open. For more info about
team competition, including how to register your team, please refer
to:
<a href="http://www.cwops.org/cwopen.html" target="_blank">www.cwops.org/cwopen.html</a>
.<br><br>
If you have questions please feel free to refer to the CW Operators
website HOME page at
<a href="http://www.cwops.org" target="_blank">http://www.cwops.org</a>. On
the left side there are numerous buttons that will provide additional CW
Ops information. One of them about mid-way down the list is the CW
Open. Should you have additional questions, please feel free
to email me directly at:
<a href="mailto:n1ln@arrl.net" target="_blank">n1ln@arrl.net</a>.<br><br>
Finally – I hope to get you in my log for all 3 sessions and for many
bands!<br><br>
