SKCC Monthly Events
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Attention all SKCC members.
The SKCC projects team has declared that 7114 KHz is now the SKCC
Elmer Frequency. We challenge our Elmers or any member that wants
to help, to monitor that frequency whenever they can.
New CW operators need a safe haven where they can get on the air
and not have to worry about making mistakes. Maybe for that first
CW contact without the stress or fear of worrying about fouling up.
The goal is to take away that fear, because WE DON'T CARE IF YOU MESS UP!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Novice Day - Every Friday 0000z to 2400z is now Novice Day on
7114 KHz. No contest, just a day set aside for the beginners,
the slower ops or anyone that wants to help. The goal is to
congregate our beginners and they can help each other.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SKCC Monthly SKN
SKCC Straight Key Night (SKN) was the clubs first event.
It is NOT a contest. The 1st day of each month is set aside
as a day to get on the air.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The SKCC WES
The WeekEnd Sprint is a 24 hour sprint that occurs on the
second Sunday of the month starting at 0000 UTC.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SKCC Straight Key Sprint
The two-hour Straight Key Sprint (SKS) occurs monthly on the
fourth Wednesday starting at 0000 UTC.
