The National CW Speed Week

The National CW Speed Week

The National CW Speed Week started at 04:00 UTC (06:00 CAT) this morning Sunday 24 October and will end at 16:00 UTC (18:00 CAT) on Saturday 30 October 2021.

The activity will take place on 80, 40 and 20 metres and you may not work the same call sign more than ONCE on each band. The idea is to make as many contacts as you can within a 7-day calendar period; the goal is to log all contacts on the RaDAR Sport Log, developed by Eddie, ZS6BNE.

Visit www.radarops.co.za/zsportal; you will need a log-in PIN from Eddie in order to take part. The PIN allows you to edit your own log if you have made an error.
