There will be over 200 countries on the air this weekend. I know that most of you do not operate CW contests, but, this weekend is a great time to pick up some new countries you may need.
Fearless Bill, WS5H, used to program his call in one of his buttons on his rig and his report (599 4) in another button. He also used a CW decoding program or the DX cluster to find the station he needed. He would press one button to call the DX station and another to send his report. Bill had over 200 countries on 10 meters and had no fear of jumping in to the 30 wpm CW with his programmed call at 15 wpm. The DX station would slow down to pick him up and make the contact. The contest starts at 6 pm CST on Friday and ends at 6 pm on Sunday. The exchange for us is 599 4. Get on the air like Fearless Bill. Learn something new and snag a new country. Contact any of the contesters like N5XZ or K5IZO or W5HFF or K5HM if you need help in setting up your rig and computer for this contest. Have fun. 73 NIZAR K0NM _______________________________________________ BVARC mailing list [email protected] http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_bvarc.org
