Event #26 - Fri Nov 15th #event_notice


 

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? [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.

Hah,hah... your groups are in the mail, Dave. This event is alphanumeric but can't guarantee there are none with "RG" in them.
?
After the event I guess we could vote on most interesting group sent or received...
