Very Special CWops Tests for March
We are going to have FOUR CWops Tests in March. In addition to our
regular tests on 12 and 26 March, we will have Special CWTs on 5 and 19
March. Normal CWT times: 1300Z and 1900Z Wednesday and 0300Z Thursday.
Normal CWT frequencies: up 28 to 38 kHz from band bottoms.
The Special 5- and 19-March CWTs will celebrate the completion of CW
Academy's January/February semester. Sixty eager hams will graduate. We
are inviting and encouraging them to participate in the Special CWTs.
Our goal is to hook them by providing a welcoming, friendly opportunity
to use their new CW skills.
Guidelines for Special CWTs.
1. Everyone limit speed to 20 WPM maximum. Even when you are working
someone you normally work at 30 WPM, please send no faster than 20 WPM.
When you answer someone CQing at less than 20 WPM, answer him at his
speed. When someone answers your 20 WPM CQ at a slower speed, match his
speed.
2. Thank stations by name.
3. If appropriate, help stations by explaining CWT exchange.
4. Encourage band changes. Consider ending a contact by saying something
like CU ON 15 NEXT.
5. If someone wants to rag chew, rag chew for a bit.
6. Send lots of FBs and other encouragement.
7. Us working us--we do that all the time. Please make a special effort
to work the new guys.
8. Send a QSL card to each new station worked.
9. March Special CWTs will count toward CWT Participation Award points.
The graduates are our new blood. They are the hams who will carry on the
CW tradition. Let's make a special effort to get on and make the
graduates feel welcome. Let's infect them with the CW bug.
Of course, all, not just CWA grads, are welcome to join our Special
CWTs. Spread the word to your local club members. Tell them about a
special opportunity to get on and do CW at their speed.
*The first rule of CW is to have fun and to share the fun. Let's share
the fun. *
CW Exuberantly,
Hank, W6SX
