Code practice texts are from QST, and the source of each practice is 
given at the beginning of each practice and at the beginning of 
alternate speeds. 

On Tuesdays and Fridays at 2330 UTC (6:30 PM EST), Keplerian 
Elements for active amateur satellites are sent on the regular 
digital frequencies. 

A DX bulletin replaces or is added to the regular bulletins between

Audio from W1AW's CW code practices and CW/digital bulletins is 
available using EchoLink via the W1AW Conference Server named 
"W1AWBDCT."  (The 9:45 PM ET phone bulletin is currently unavailable 
via W1AWBDCT.)  The CW/digital audio is sent in real-time and runs 
concurrently with W1AW's regular transmission schedule. 

All users who connect to the conference server are muted.  Please 
note that any questions or comments about this server should not be 
sent via the "Text" window in EchoLink. Please direct these 
questions or comments to w1aw at arrl.org. 

In a communications emergency, monitor W1AW for special bulletins as 
follows: Voice on the hour, Digital at 15 minutes past the hour, and 
CW on the half hour. 
   
All licensed amateurs may operate the station from 1500 UTC to 1700 
UTC (10 AM to 12 PM EST), and then from 1800 UTC to 2045 UTC (1 PM 
to 3:45 PM EST) Monday through Friday.  Be sure to bring your 
current FCC amateur radio license or a photocopy.
