On Tuesdays and Fridays at 2230 UTC (6:30 PM ET), Keplerian Elements

Audio from W1AW's CW code practices and CW/digital bulletins is

available using EchoLink via the W1AW Conference Server named

"W1AWBDCT."  (The 9:45 PM ET phone bulletin is currently unavailable

via W1AWBDCT.)  The CW/digital audio is sent in real-time and runs

concurrently with W1AW's regular transmission schedule.

 

All users who connect to the conference server are muted.  Please

note that any questions or comments about this server should not be

sent via the "Text" window in EchoLink. Please direct any questions

or comments to w1aw at arrl.org.

 

In a communications emergency, monitor W1AW for special bulletins as

follows: Voice on the hour, Digital at 15 minutes past the hour, and

CW on the half hour.

 

FCC licensed amateurs may operate the station from 1400 UTC to 1600

UTC (10 AM to 12 PM ET), and then from 1700 UTC to 1945 UTC (1 PM to

3:45 PM ET) Monday through Friday.  Be sure to bring your current

FCC amateur license or a photocopy.
