The CWops have this thing they call the CW Test, or CWT. CWTs are held every Wednesday/Thursday, and include four, one-hour sessions at times that favor different geographic areas. They’re not exactly contests, and some CWops think of them as practice sessions for the “real” contests, but people post their scores to 3830scores.com and brag about them on the CWops mailing list, so they’re more than just practice sessions.

I got this card in the mail a couple of days ago. Bob is actually a high-school (and college) friend who I’ve kept in touch with over the years. It’s nice to have friends like Bob. I sent Bob one of my QSL cards noting that I owe a beer or a coffee next time that I get to see him in person.
