FW: [CQ-Contest] Special slow-speed mini-CWTs on March 9-10

[Peter Chamalian W1RM]

While not specific to Elecraft, I'm forwarding this to the reflector because
there has been a lot of discussion from time to time about the use of code
readers and the like.  The best code reader is your brain and you can learn
CW as evidenced by the high success rate of the CWA.  If you are a slower CW
op who would like to participate in a friendly competition please come join
the fun.

Pete, W1RM

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Special slow-speed mini-CWTs on March 9-10

As many of you know, the CWOps club sponsors weekly CW mini-tests (CWTs), at
1300Z and 1900Z Wednesdays and 0300Z Thursdays
(<http://www.cwops.org/cwt.html>).

The CWOps club also sponsors a CW training program called CW Academy
(<http://www.cwops.org/cwacademy.html>), with three sessions a year, ending
in March, June and November. On the occasions of those graduations, we vary
the routine of the CWTs slightly. In the second week of March, June and
November, everyone taking part in the CWTs is asked to keep their CW speed
down to 20 wpm or less in order to welcome new graduates who are not yet
ready to cope with the usual higher CW speeds. Also, past and present
students and advisors are asked to send CWA in place of the usual membership
number or state/province/country code in the exchange.

Everyone is always welcome to join in. This week, though, please moderate
your CW speed in order to make it more fun and less stressful for the new CW
Academy graduates.

Time: March 9, 1300-1400Z; 1900-2000Z; and March 10, 0300-0400Z.
Frequencies: approx. 28 kHz above the bottom of the band and upwards
Exchange: Name plus CWOps membership number, "CWA", or state, province or
country code
Logs: No log submission, just report your results at 3830scores.com

Thanks, and CU in the CWTs.

73,
Rich VE3KI
CWOps CWT manager
