Email him with any questions in that regard at  .PREMISE: Morse operations have served the maritime community since the days of the "Marconi Men" and the warbling note of a spark gap transmitter. The shipboard "sparks" passed ships traffic to coastal stations around the world and came to know calls such as WCC (Cape Cod), WKR (Alaska) and KPH (California) as their links to shore. The 500 kHz (600 meter) band carried routine messages, weather warnings and occasionally, life and death accounts of marine tragedies. Commercial morse service in North America came to an end on July 12, 1999 with the final sign off from KFS/KPH. This marked the end of an era of operators in green eyeshades pounding brass and copying messages on a mill, an all capital letter typewriter. The final evening of commercial morse operation in North America became known as the Night of Nights. For more information on this and other maritime operations click here. TIME FRAME: The first day of the month 0000Z through the last day of the month 2400Z RULES: Just make ALL these words, not including the comments in parenthesis, from calls of stations you work. No Contest or Sprint QSOs. All QSOs must be made using CW and QRP: NIGHT OF NIGHTS 600 METERS MILL SILENT PERIOD * KFS KPH HALF MOON BAY ( Site of the night of night transmissions ) GLOBE WIRELESS ( Owners of Half Moon Bay site ) JEREMIAH OBRIEN KXCH ( Liberty ship that sent the last commercial message to KFS ) * On 600m, this was a three minute interval during which only emergency traffic was to be sent while all other stations listened. There were two periods per hour starting at the hour plus 15 minutes and the hour plus 45 minutes. The 86 total letters contain these 24 different letters and numbers: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P R S T W X Y 0 6 You can use each letter in a call TWICE. For example you could use K3WWP for 2 K's, 4 W's, and 2 P's. Subsequent QSO's with the same station cannot be used for additional letters. For example, no matter how many times you work K3WWP, you can only use his call for 8 of the letters in the words. See General Rule #5 for more details on what callsign letters can be used. See the Alphabet Tutorial page for an excellent way to track any and all of our alphabet type challenges. AWARDS: A certificate and Participation Point go to everyone making all the words and submitting their report before the deadline. A Participation Point goes to everyone making at least 1, but not all the words and submitting their report before the deadline. PRIZES: A choice of an item made by master woodworker Gregg WB8LZG as shown on our prizes page here goes to someone selected via a random drawing from all who participate and submit a report for this month's challenge. A person can only win once, then they become ineligible for future drawings. LOGS: For your report, list the words you made and the station used for each letter in the word. The number of stations listed must be the same as the number of letters in each word, even though you use the same station for more than one letter as in: WORD - K3WWP, N2OD, WA8REI, N2OD Note how N2OD is listed for both the O and D. You may also include comments about the challenge. Please preface any comments you want posted with "SOAPBOX:" so we will know what you want posted and what is private. Send your results as text to: (Please be sure to use the horizontal layout as shown above.) E-mail: You must type that address into your email program.

Soapbox:K3WWP: Finished with all DX stations on April 8 at 1812Z. Letters/numbers by continent: Asia - 7, Africa - 6, Europe - 71, North America - 2. Almost done with the European Chapter challenge also. I need two 7s, one 8, and one E. The bands have been in good (if not great) shape the first 8 days of April, and that has helped as I haven't really put in all that much time on the challenges. Finally being rid of the horrible winter weather has led to a lot of outdoor activity this month and not much time on the bands. It's been fun working the R120 Alexander Popov stations and the "90" IARU stations. Of course it's always fun working any kind of DX. K1IEE: Another very meaningful, informative and fun challenge. Thanks to all and NAQCC 73 Dick PA0XAW: Nice challenge but not easy for me. See You in the next one. 73, Age N8XMS: After coming up short the last two months I was determined to complete this challenge. I managed to finish it with more than a week to spare. G3XOB: The SE, SF, EG and EH calls were all 90th anniversary IARU stations. Also, thanks to my mate G4CVD for moving from Germany to Switzerland at the right time! K0FNR: Great fun ! K0ALN: It was a fun challenge for me this month. Finished my last 3 R's and 2 O's while /4 with my 817 and Alex Loop on the dock at a friend's wedding in Florida. And the finishing O's were with OM2VL!! Now I see why a lot of the east-coast stations get European DX points, while I never even hear them when I'm back at home in the Rockies! NQ2W: Last month, I said I would try something different this month. Here's what I did - I called CQ and used only those stations that answered my CQ to complete the challenge. How did it work? I met a lot of great people and had some wonderful QSOs. Some callsigns I could use. Some I couldn't. Some days/nights no one answered my CQs. Some days/nights I had DX stations answer my CQs. It was a time consuming, yet very worthwhile endeavor. Did I complete the challenge? Unfortunately, no, I didn't complete the challenge using callsigns of stations that answered my CQs. Fortunately, I had a back-up plan and answered enough CQs of other stations to complete the challenge. At the end of the month, I was lacking 13 of the 86 letters to complete the challenge with callsigns of stations that answered my CQs. Was it worthwhile? You bet! I usually don't ragchew. Chasing DX,contests, and sprints is how I spend a lot of radio time. Calling CQ to complete this challenge kind of forced my hand into ragchewing. I had some great conversations with some very interesting hams. It also showed me my conversational cw speed is not where I want it to be...so I have to work on that. Any last words? Yes, thank you to everyone that answered my CQs. I truly do appreciate the QSOs and am glad we had a chance to meet through this fantastic hobby...and thanks to the NAQCC for organizing the challenges. 72, Will K1YAN: Some improved conditions in the evenings let me work the European Challenge and get some of the letter rich DX calls in the mix. Nice to see some new calls in the list of participants. W9PZ: I finished the challenge with only 40 minutes to spare; the letter "H" was my bane. I called and called stations with letter H's but no responses (except the last one). VE3FUJ: This Month I did a little better. Also I had fewer QSO's, the letters was more favourable for the words at Hand. Enjoyable Challenge. Brion KF7WNS:Missed it this month. Looked for the "L's - I's - R's" ...too late in the month. DH0DK: No letters J and S found! Ready for a new game. Thanks to all 72 Ben #7576 W2JEK: MY FATHER CHARLES YOUNGER W2ND [SK] WORKED AT WCC IN MARION MASS. IN 1926. HIS COMMERCIAL LICENSE SHOWED HIM WORKING AT WCC, WRO AND WRQ, THE LATTER TWO BEING 200 KW ALEXANDERSON ALTERNATORS [VLF]. HE BECAME INTERESTED IN RADIO BECAUSE OF THE PUBLICITY IT RECEIVED AFTER THE TITANIC DISASTER. AND OBTAINED HIS HAM LICENSE IN 1922. MY WA1WCC QSO WAS ON 80M. |
