Event #27 - Sat Dec 7th #event_notice

 
Edited

Welcome to RandomGram Event Nr. 27:

Date/Time: December 7th @ 14:00 - 16:00 UTC. That is Saturday morning/afternoon for US/Europe.

Objective: This is a 10-group event with five-letter groups. Transmit each of your 10 code groups (one per QSO) for a perfect Tx score of 20 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 unlimited 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.

Have fun!

RG#27 was fairly busy at my QTH-- it was pretty much non-stop action, starting on 40m then going to 20m.
?
Team Straight Key has the highest total points and number of operators: 408 pts for 8 ops. Sideswiper had the highest average of 74 (but only three ops). The second highest average was team QRP, a solo effort by W4KAC. This is our first QRP entry. These results could still change a little as there remains a couple of ops who have not submitted their copied groups yet.
?
Anyhow, you can see the latest scores at the link below. As always, if you want to receive an updated abstract of your sent/rcvd groups just let me know. The scores are at:

There will be one more RG event later this month, then none in January due to the SKCC Straight Key Month event. I was thinking of making February a month-long RG event with unlimited groups (refills available throughout the month) and a running score chart with daily updates. Perhaps some suggested "happy hours" to help concentrate activity... Still to be determined...

And I thought I was radical by suggesting alpha-numeric groups!? Lot of work for you Drew!
I'm game.
It'll give me something to do between shoveling and feeding the fire...

Dan,

After the January SKM a month long RG event would probably be pretty leisurely by comparison...
