W1AW Frequency Measuring Test (FMT)

The W1AW Frequency Measuring Test (FMT) has taken
several different formats over the past few years. This
year, we return to the "classic" FMT -- measuring the
frequency of an unmodulated carrier. Accurate frequency
measurement is required of all hams for both regulatory
compliance -- "stay in the band!" -- and operating
convenience, particularly on the new digital modes. The
W1AW FMT will run on November 12, 2009 at 0245 UTC
(this is Wednesday evening, November 11, 2009 at 9:45
PM EST). It will replace any W1AW bulletin normally
scheduled for that time. It is recommended that participants
listen to W1AW's transmissions prior to the event to get
an idea of conditions to see which band (or bands) will
be best for measurement purposes. Read more at
