Welcome to RandomGram Event Nr. 8!

IMPORTANT!
RG #8 is a 2-hour sprint with a slightly different focus than longer RG events: Participants are limited to a TX List of only 10 code groups. The object is to transmit each of your groups at least once (one group per QSO), and have each group logged & confirmed by other stations. For more discussion see the December Ten-lap Sprint Event message post.

Date/Time: Dec 12th @ 23:00 - 01:00 UTC. That is Tuesday afternoon/evening for most; Wed morning for the OC/AS region.

Teams: Current teams are listed in the Roster/Results message post. Additional teams 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 [email protected]

Suggested Frequencies: 50-60 kHz above the bottom of non-WARC HF bands, conditions permitting. Elsewhere in the band may prove better depending on your region or QRM from other ongoing events.

Suggested Spotting Page: RG participants are invited to use the SKCC SkedPage at (Members who post or self-spot on the SkedPage-- please be prepared to provide an SKCC style exchange for those callers who request it.)

Operating Tips:

- A transmitted group earns 2-points; a received group is 1-point (if accurately transmitted, copied and submitted);
- Work the same stations on the same band multiple times and exchange additional code groups;
- Transmit one code group with every contact;
- For additional points monitor other stations: log and submit code groups they exchange (SWL/intercept);
- Submit your updated log or list of received code groups to obtain your current score.

For additional operating info see the RandomGram FAQ? HERE.

Deadline for submitting copied groups: the sooner, the better.

New TX Lists (code groups) are now available for this event. Code groups from previous events are not valid and will not score. Obtain a registered TX List by emailing your call sign to [email protected]
