 Hi everyone! Since we may be having folks spend more time at home over the
next few weeks, Larry has asked me to post some lesser-known operating
activities and contests coming up in the near future, so here goes!

Every Wednesday, CWOPS holds their one-hour CWT three times (local times):
9 AM, 3 PM, and 11 PM. Exchange is name and CWOPS # or name and state for
nonmembers. It's a great way to do some CW contesting and it only takes one
hour! More info: https://cwops.org/cwops-tests/

Another weekly event similar to CWT is the Phone Fray which is a 30 minute
phone contest. It happens Tuesday nights at 10:30 PM local.

For those who like much slower action, the Russian Digital Radio Club is
holding a T10 event.

T10 is a mode that is a hybrid of JT65 and JT9 and is only available in JTDX
software (fork of WSJT-X - www.jtdx.tech

It's similar to the JT9 activity weekend I have posted about in the past.

Next weekend is a little bare because we have CQ WPX SSB on the menu. This
is another one of those big contests where you can snag some elusive DX or
some very weird callsigns. People will be sending RST and serials for the
exchange and everyone can work everyone. https://www.cqwpx.com/
