My current CWT count as of this morning is 30 sessions so far in 2019. Today is a slow speed day, below 20 wpm, as encouragement for the latest group of CW Academy graduates. Two more sessions yet today at 3 PM and 11PM if you would like to jump in.

Hi Members of TVARC's MailList,

So far, nobody's commented/bragged about their results from the ARRL's International Grid Chase (IGC) special event that ended a year's long competition on December 31, 2018.  Since nature abhors a vacuum, my (K4QR) "brag" from this even is provided below. 

ARRL's International Grid Chase (IGC) ended on 12/31/2018 @ 23:59. This Special Event was a year-long activity to encourage stations to work as many grid squares as possible.  For this event, all the logging was automatically done by ARRL's Logbook of the World (LoTW; http://www.arrl.org/logbook-of-the-world). So, you may have "participated" without realizing that your were! 8Thus, you should log onto the ICG's website (https://igc.arrl.org/index.php) using your LoTW credentials to see your results!
