Essex CW Amateur Radio Club’s activity week runs from Monday 13 November to Sunday 19 November 2023.

This is a friendly non-contest style event to encourage both experienced and new Morse operators. Slow speed operators are especially welcome.

Whilst the objective is to contact as many radio amateurs as possible in a week, it is hoped that QSOs go beyond just an exchange of signal reports and become longer chats. Anyone who works at least 25 other stations qualifies for a free PDF award certificate.

The stations worked don’t have to be Essex CW Amateur Radio Club members. So, please dust off your key or paddle and get on the air!

Listen out for Essex CW club callsigns GX1FCW and GX8CW during the event. More information, and a list of preferred frequencies, can be found here

Please send details of your news and events to radcom@rsgb.org.uk The deadline for submissions is 10am on Thursday before the Sunday broadcast.
