10-10 International Spring CW QSO Party


April 24 0000 UTC until April 25 at 2359 UTC

This year, 10-10 has split off the CW QSO party from other digital modes to promote more CW activity.
Phone is the most popular QSO party’s, followed by “Digital” modes, PSK31 being most popular (I personally would like to see more RTTY!).
The Digital QSO Party is May 1 & 2 (I won’t be participating as it conflicts with my NEQP operation).

Being a single mode QSO party this year, the CW contest should see more activity, along with (we hope) better solar numbers.

See the 10-10 web site for official time and rules www.ten-ten.org

So dust off your key and join the fun on the low end of ten!

Work at least 25 stations and get a certificate of participation, or maybe be “Top Dog” in your state or New England county!

Hope to work you on May 1 & 2.
