CQWW contest
11
Hello fellow clubmembers This weekend the CW-sections of the non-WARC bands will be full again because of the CQWW contest. I hope to work some of you then, especially on 40m & 80m because I try to concentrate on these bands for my 5BDXCC. But in general I would like to work as many A1Club-members as possible too. As club I will fill in the A1CLUB in my Cabrillo. See you then! 73, Martin, PE1EEC/PE6X/JAxyyy P.S. given that my plan is to walk the Henro-trail next year, I also applied for a JA-guestlicense to do some SOTA and general CW while in JA5. The paperwork is at the JARL and the representative will start processing it early December.

ONLINE KONSHINKAI, DEC 2024
Dear A1CLUB members, It's getting colder suddenly here in JA. and when the WX gets colder like this, I'll start missing vacuum tube radios and so turn them on as their health check recently. The next A1NET is the BUG NITE, but if I'll have a chance I also hold a Boat Anchors Gathering on the A1NET, so please be sure to maintain your vacuum tube radios. * Boat Anchors: Because the old radios are very heavy, they are often referred to as boat anchors. Now, I'm happy to announce that "ONLINE KONSHINKAI (online gathering) [Year-End Party Edition]" will be held in DEC 2024. This time, there will be no presentation session but the entire event will be just an online eyeball QSO. *** ONLINE KONSHINKAI [Year-End Party Edition] *** When: 2024/12/21(SAT) 10:30Z - 11:30Z (19:30~20:30 JST) Where: On Zoom online meeting that you can login with your PCs and SmartPhones.

Please allow me a few days for the first reply. The Zoom URL of the ONLINE KONSHINKAI will be sent to you a few days in advancer to the event.

[RandomGram] Event #26 - Fri Nov 15th
#event_notice
QSP RandomGram #26 // HIRO, JJ1FXF ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Drew AF2Z via groups.io <pubx1@...> Date: 2024年11月11日(月) 9:55 Subject: [RandomGram] Event #26 - Fri Nov 15th #event_notice To: <RandomGram@groups.io> Welcome to RandomGram Event Nr. 26: Date/Time: November 15th @ 22:00 - 23:59 UTC. That is Friday afternoon/evening for most. Objective: This is a 25-group event with five-character alphanumeric groups. Transmit each of your 25 code groups (one per QSO) for a perfect Tx score of 50 points (2-pts per transmitted group). You can resend groups in additional QSOs to help ensure that all are logged & reported by other operators. Also log as many code groups as you can from other operators, during QSOs and by SWL/intercept, for maximum Rx and Total points (1-pt per received group). New TX Lists (code groups) are available now for this event. Code groups from previous events have expired and will not score. Obtain a registered TX List by emailing your call sign to the Group Owner email address at RG+owner@groups.io Multiple Same-band Contacts (dup's) are encouraged. Please use the revised procedure for making multiple same-band contacts, in effect since April; see info HERE. Teams: Teams are listed in the Roster & Results message post for this event (see below). Additional teams are available by request. Team membership is open to all and is completely optional. Operating on a team is no different than otherwise. Team scores are the sum of individual members' scores. If you're interested in joining a team for this event just email your call sign and team preference to RG+owner@groups.io Suggested Frequencies: 50-60 kHz above the bottom of non-WARC HF bands, conditions permitting. Other frequencies in the band may prove better depending on your region or QRM from other ongoing events. 7028 kHz is preferable in OC & AS regions. Suggested Spotting Page: RG participants are invited to use the SKCC SkedPage at https://sked.skccgroup.com/ (SKCC Members who post or self-spot on the SkedPage-- please be prepared to provide an SKCC style exchange for callers who request it.) Operating Tips: - A transmitted group earns 2-points; a received group is 1-point if accurately transmitted, copied and reported; - Work the same stations on the same band multiple times and exchange additional code groups (see new procedure here ) - Transmit a different code group with every contact (one code group per QSO); - For additional points monitor other stations: log and submit code groups they exchange (SWL/intercept); - Submit your log or list of received code groups via email to obtain your current score and abstract of groups. For additional operating and logging guidelines see the RandomGram FAQ HERE. SWL Intercept: Even if you don't transmit any code groups you can still earn Rx points by submitting groups you have logged while monitoring other stations. Your confirmation of other stations' transmitted groups also helps them to earn Tx points. Deadline for submitting your copied groups: the sooner, the better. Other operators' scores depend on your confirmation of their transmitted groups. Roster & Results. See the list of participating stations and scores (when available) HERE. Have fun! 73, Drew - AF2Z RandomGram Mgr
