Drew AF2Z All Messages By This Member #268 Edited Welcome to RandomGram Event Nr. 13 Date/Time: Apr 26th @ 21:00 - 23:00 UTC. That is Friday afternoon/evening for most. Please note the revised procedure for making multiple same-band contacts, in effect since RG#12. Info HERE. Also, code groups for this event will be letter groups. (Previous event used alpha-numeric.) New TX Lists (code groups) are available now 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 the *Group Owner* email address at? [email protected] Objective: This is an unlimited groups event. You can request 25, 50, 75, etc code groups per Tx List. The objective is to transmit and log as many different code groups as you can during the event. 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 popular 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 reported); - Work the same stations on the same band multiple times and exchange additional code groups (see new procedure here ) - Transmit one 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 guidelines 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 helps them to earn Tx points. Deadline for submitting your copied groups: the sooner, the better. Other operators depend on your confirmation of their transmitted groups. Roster & Results for this event are posted HERE. Have fun! 73, Drew - AF2Z RandomGram Mgr

Bernie VE3FWF Member Profile All Messages By This Member #275 20 meters is full off stations doing the SST contest. ?I suggest we pick a calling frequency such as 14.040 to maximize chance of hearing someone calling CQ -- 73 Bernie VE3FWW
Jim N0IPA Member Profile All Messages By This Member #276 SST ends as we begin. No problem. Jim N0IPA
Larry KF6NCX All Messages By This Member #279 I put in an hour in Event #13, which is what I had to spare today.? It was fun although conditions were not great at my station here in Northern CA.? The bands were noisy, I only heard a few stations, and it was tough for me to work anyone, even running 400 watts.? Gee, often conditions have been great mid-afternoon, but not today.? I didn't hear any participants on 10 or 15 meters -- only a few on 20.? I managed to copy 19 RGs and transmit several. Thanks for K9VKY and N0RO for the QSOs!? 73, Larry

Jim N0IPA Member Profile All Messages By This Member #281 Yeah, the bands were tough, but there were 2-3 stations I could copy, so my strategy was to bounce back and forth between them, exchange then SWL till a pause, roll to the other solid station and do the same. A good exercise in making conditions work for you. Jim N0IPA
Drew AF2Z All Messages By This Member #282 Yes, Jim- exactly! If you are limited to only a couple of workable stations you can still go pretty much non-stop for the entire event. I'll just remind everyone that RG allows you to make multiple same-band contacts with the same station if you abide by the following requirement: You can contact the same station multiple times on the same band as long as you attempt to work other stations after each such contact. This can be done either by responding to a CQ RG transmitted by another station, or by transmitting your own CQ RG. An actual contact is not required to be completed but the attempt must be made. See the discussion HERE It's a lot of fun but some remain hesitant about contacting? the same station more than once on a band. I guess because the near universal "dup" restriction is so ingrained. Modern receivers with dual VFOs, dual watch, A/B and REV switches are very well suited to monitoring a station while working your own frequency. But even someone with an older rig and a wide receive passband can monitor an adjacent station while calling CQ themself; then slide over to the other station to answer their CQ from time to time. You can also pause your CQ's to "intercept" their QSO activity and add to your Rx points. 73, Drew/AF2Z toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Sat, Apr 27, 2024 at 12:26 PM, Jim N0IPA wrote: Yeah, the bands were tough, but there were 2-3 stations I could copy, so my strategy was to bounce back and forth between them, exchange then SWL till a pause, roll to the other solid station and do the same.
