Event #22 - Fri Sept 20th #event_notice
|
Welcome to RandomGram Event Nr. 22:
Date/Time: September 20th @ 22:00 - 23:59 UTC. That is Friday afternoon/evening for most. Objective: This is an unlimited event with 5-character alphanumeric code groups. Request as many code groups per Tx List as you like, or request additional Tx Lists. Transmit as many different code groups as you can, one per QSO. Your TX score is unlimited (2-pts per transmitted group). Also log as many code groups as you can from other operators, during QSOs and by SWL intercept (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? [email protected] 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 [email protected] 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 (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 ? |

There was a pretty good turnout for RG #22 on Friday. Most players have submitted their logged groups so the Tx scores for most of us are final.
?
Six teams were represented in this event, though some with only one operator. If you'd like to throw your results in for a particular team you can still do so; just let me know your call sign and team preference.
?
Team Straight Key had highest number of members (9) and highest total points (574). Highest average score (with only two team members) was Sideswiper with 126 avg.
?
Top scorer in this "unlimited groups" event is currently K0RO on team StraightKey with 120 Tx points (60 code groups transmitted) and 55 groups copied for total of 175 points. Runner ups were W3NP on Bug and AF2Z on Sideswiper, So, all three of the Key Teams were represented at the top, haha!

As always, you can request an update for your individual results and updated groups abstract. Yours may have changed quite a bit if you submitted early before other operators had yet confirmed your transmitted groups.
?
Next event will be 1st Saturday in October. It will be a 25-group limited event with plain letter code groups.
