Members of the K1USN Radio Club, who are also members of the CW 
Operators’ Club (CWops), run a one-hour slow speed CW “contest,” called 
the SST.
For those who prefer a more leisurely CW pace or are new CW operators or 
contesters, this just might be what you're looking for!

K1USN SST Slow Speed Test RULES

PURPOSE

K1USN’s Slow Speed Test is designed to encourage and assist those who 
signed up for the CWops CW Academy to learn CW or to improve their CW 
skills but are not yet copying 25 WPM. The activity has an upper limit 
of 20 wpm but we encourage participants to use any slower speed they are 
comfortable with.

We welcome everybody to join in the SSTs including new ops making their 
first attempt at completing a CW QSO. In addition to SST’s 20 WPM upper 
speed limit, we ask all to be patient, supportive, and willing to slow 
down as necessary to match the other op’s speed. The objective is a no 
pressure event that provides “on the air” CW practice. Using paddle 
keyers, bugs, side swipers and straight keys is fine.
