This is a quickie about the CW Ops CW Open contest that is coming up on 8/31. Actually, it is three contests in one – there are three four-hour time slots in a single 24-hour day – each of the three periods is scored individually, as well as an aggregated score. The CW Open has team contesting, and last year we put together a team of QRP-only operators. It was so much fun (and we didn’t come in last place!) that we’re doing it again.
Szabi, VA2FDT, was also working on getting together a QRP team, so we’ve joined up our efforts.
Here are the two teams we’ve put together:
