[SJRA-Members] CW and RTTY Gurus - Time to Gear up for Field Day

[Richard VonLintig]

Attention All RTTY and CW Gurus:

Now is the time to start honing your considerable skills and equipment in
anticipation of the annual W1AW Field Day Bulletin.  A perfect copy of the
W1AW Field Day message is a must for any card-carrying CW or RTTY/PSK31
expert, and you can receive a round of applause for presenting the genuine
article to Bonus Points chairman KV2R prior to July 10.

Of course you must copy the message as transmitted by ARRL via W1AW on
Friday, Saturday, or Sunday June 27-29.  The CW version will be transmitted
at 8pm and 11pm EDT on Friday, 10am and 8pm on Saturday, and 10am on
Sunday.  Digital (RTTY and PSK31) are transmitted at 9pm on Friday and
Saturday and at 12 pm on Sunday.  All transmissions will be on the standard
W1AW frequencies (see
www.arrl.org/files/file/Field-Day/2014/2014%20w1a1%20sked.pdf).
Data rate is 18 wpm for CW.  2-160 m.

For those less elite operators who only can do phone, the message can also
be recorded and then transcribed from the transmissions on the phone
frequencies.

Good luck copying the message!  See you on Field Day.

KV2R, K2AA Bonus Points Chairman
