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.
