Welcome to RandomGram Event Nr. 9

Roster & Results. The current roster of participants, team assignments, and updated results when available, are posted HERE.

Date/Time: Feb 23rd @ 21:00 - 23:00 UTC. That is Friday afternoon/evening for most; Saturday morning for the OC/AS region.

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]

Objective: RG #9 is a 2-hour sprint. Each participant will be limited to one TX List of 25 code groups. The object is to transmit each of your groups at least once (one group per QSO), and have all of them logged & confirmed by other operators. You may want to loop through your groups list more than once and make additional contacts to ensure that all are copied and confirmed by other stations. Additional contacts will also continue to earn RX points with each new code group you log.

Teams: Current teams are listed in the Roster & Results message post for this event (see link 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 [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. 7028 kHz is used in some regions.

Suggested Spotting Page: RG participants are invited to use the SKCC SkedPage at (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 submitted);
- Work the same stations on the same band multiple times and exchange additional code groups;
- Transmit a new 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.

SWL Entries: 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 will help them to earn Tx points.

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


Have fun!
