Any interest in being on a CW Open team? Let me know, reply to <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] Background: CWops sponsors CWT - fun, weekly competitions at times thought to be optimum for amateurs in ITU Regions 1, 2, and 3 ( <http://www.cwops.org/cwt.html> http://www.cwops.org/cwt.html). The CW OPEN (CWO), which is held on the first Saturday in September, is guided by the same principles along with enhancements to make it a serious, annual competitive event. Object: Work as many CW stations worldwide as possible within each session. There are three separate competitions at three separate times - each is called a "session." Each station may be worked once per band in each session. Entry can be made to any or all of the sessions. Each session is scored separately. Entry into multiple sessions will be added together for a combined score in a separate, additional aspect to this event. Date: September 7, 2019 Sessions and Times Session Date Time 1 September 7, 2019 0000 - 0359z 2 September 7, 2019 1200 - 1559z 3 September 7, 2019 2000 - 2359z Eligibility: All amateurs are encouraged to participate. Exchange: Sequential Serial Number and Name. Serial numbers start at 001 for each session. QSO Points: One point for every valid two way QSO with correct exchange of information. May contact for points only once per band, per session. Note: do not remove dupes from your log. Multipliers: For each session, each different call sign is a multiplier the first time it is worked in that session. Note that a busted call sign is not a multiplier. Score: For each session, total QSO points times the total number of multipliers. If more than one session is entered, a combined score equal to the sum of all session scores will be reported separately in the results. Mode: CW only Bands: 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, 10 meters Class Entry: Single Operator only. Indicate power level of QRP, Low, or High; QRP is 5W or less; Low is 100W or less; High is any legal power above 100W. Packet, Skimmer, and Reverse Beacon systems are allowed. A Team consists of TWO or more single operators. 1. Teams, with up to ten operators each, can be organized and compete against each other. 2. There is no geographical restriction for a team; this offers a strategic component. 3. Team scores is the sum of all team players' score in all sessions that they choose to enter. Note: Since there is only ONE overall Team Competition winner for the entire contest, those who enter ALL 3 sessions obviously have a much better chance of winning. Log Submission: * All logs must be in Cabrillo format. See FAQ below for details. Paper logs will not be accepted. * All logs for CWO 2019 must be submitted by the log deadline: September 22, 2019. * Submit a separate CWO Cabrillo log for each session.
