Welcome to RandomGram Event Nr. 14

Date/Time: May 14th @ 15:00 - 17:00 UTC. That is Tuesday morning for most.

Please use the revised procedure for making multiple same-band contacts, in effect since RG#12. Info HERE.

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 a 10-group limited event with alpha-numeric groups. The objective is to have all ten of the code groups on your tx list logged and confirmed by other stations, sending one group per QSO. You can make more than ten QSOs and re-send the code groups on your tx list to ensure they all get logged and reported by other stations. Also, log as many different code groups as you can from other stations, both in QSOs and by monitoring other stations' QSOs.

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!

That's what it seemed like.? Wasn't sure if the bands just died, or everyone was just done with it.

I don't know about anyone else but I am never done with it from start to finish...
