All y'all may think of firing up the rig and joining the Elecraft CW Net.
We try to make a bit of noise on 20 meters on Sunday. Other than that I
do make CW contacts almost every day of the week. I don't know about the
rest of you but I need to take a break and do chores which span multiple
pages on my voluminous Honey Do list. Thus I take a break on Saturday to
do what ever I am told (asked?).
I do get on the air. I use CW. The bands may not be fantastic but I work
at least an hour a day every day except Saturday. Some nights I run in
other CW nets or on the NTS system. Occasionally I sneak in a contact on
Saturday night when SWMBO is not looking or when I've been especially
good. Ten hours a week on the air using CW should hold up my end of the
bargain.
73 and I'll hear you on the air.

In keeping with a number of comments on the list there is something
useful that Elecraft could do. You might consider a "CW QSO Every day
Award;" to win the prize, the applicant must make a signed statement
that he/she has made a CW contact on 365 consecutive days. Instead of
checking 365 QSL cards, use the Honor System like ARRL does on QRP DXCC.
There is not much motivation to lie; the reason for bucking for the
award would be to do one's bit to keep the CW segments occupied. In
fact, you might offer a sweetened incentive by giving a plaque (perhaps
at the applicants expense) for anyone who does 30-plus minute daily CW
ragchews for 365 consecutive days. Maybe post the pictures of the
winners on the Elecraft Web site or some such thing.
73,
