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.
