Welcome to RandomGram Event Nr. 18

Date/Time: July 19th @ 23:00 - 01:00 UTC. That is Friday evening for most.

Objective: This is a 10-group event with alphanumeric codes. Transmit each of your code groups (one per QSO) for a maximum possible Tx score of 20 points (2-pts per group). You can make more than ten QSOs and re-send the code groups on your tx list to help ensure each gets reported at least once. Also log as many code groups as you can from other operators, during QSOs and by SWL intercept (1-pt per received group), for unlimited Rx and Total points.

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]

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 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 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 depend on your confirmation of their transmitted groups.

Thanks to all who participated Friday. It was a pretty good turnout.

?

There are still a few operator reports outstanding but it looks like team Sideswiper took the top spot, followed by StraightKey and Bug. Top score goes to Andy K0AF on a bug with 74 code groups logged from 19 stations.

?

I think I'll post a copy of his very active groups abstract after remaining stations have reported their groups. If anyone wants an updated copy of their own abstract just let me know.

?

This was a 10-group limited event: participants were limited to 10 code groups each, the objective being to get all ten copied and confirmed by other operators for a maximum of 20 TX Points. RX and Total points were unlimited, depending only on the number of groups copied from other operators in QSOs and by SWL intercept.

?

Next event will be first Saturday in August. This will be an unlimited event- request as many code groups as you hope to transmit. I'll post the event notice for RG#19 later in the week and start distributing code groups then.
