OK, the big SSB contest is over and we can plan for the rest of the week
now.
As usual, CWOps will be running three one-hour CWTs this week, but they
will be a little different from usual. The latest CW Academy class is
graduating, and in their honor we are dedicating this week's sessions to
welcoming CWA graduates. On March 11, please restrain your competitive
spirit and reduce your speed to 20 wpm or less, to encourage the
graduates to join in (and for the rest of us to have a slower-paced,
more relaxed time too – everyone deserves a break now and then!).
The CWA graduates will be sending CWA in place of the CWOps number in
the CWT exchange. Please say a few words to welcome them when you meet
them in the CWTs.
Remember the time change that just happened this weekend in most of
North America. The CWTs will still be at the same UTC times, but that
means an hour later local time for many of us:
1300Z (= 9 am EDT, 6 am PDT)
1900Z (= 3 pm EDT, noon PDT)
0300Z March 12 (= 11 pm EDT, 8 pm PDT Wednesday)
Also, please keep an eye out for E30FB or other DXpeditions, and QSY to
avoid them as necessary.
