On Tuesdays and Fridays at 2230 UTC (6:30 PM ET), Keplerian Elements for
active amateur satellites are sent on the regular digital frequencies.

A DX bulletin replaces or is added to the regular bulletins between

Audio from W1AW's CW code practices and CW/digital bulletins is available
using EchoLink via the W1AW Conference Server named "W1AWBDCT."  (The 9:45
PM ET phone bulletin is currently unavailable via W1AWBDCT.)  The CW/digital
audio is sent in real-time and runs concurrently with W1AW's regular
transmission schedule.

All users who connect to the conference server are muted.  Please note that
any questions or comments about this server should not be sent via the
"Text" window in EchoLink. Please direct any questions or comments to
w1aw at arrl.org.

In a communications emergency, monitor W1AW for special bulletins as
follows: Voice on the hour, Digital at 15 minutes past the hour, and CW on
the half hour.
  
FCC licensed amateurs may operate the station from 1400 UTC to 1600 UTC (10
AM to 12 PM ET), and then from 1700 UTC to 1945 UTC (1 PM to
3:45 PM ET) Monday through Friday.  Be sure to bring your current FCC
amateur license or a photocopy.
