Mystery Sprints
You never know what to expect with the Mystery Sprints. The theme, the date and time of the event, the QSO exchange, special rules, and the scoring remain a mystery until the Mystery Sprint is announced. This format allows for trying out a wide range of ideas. Some may work, some may fall flat. If anything, we should have some fun trying.

Looking For A Sked?
Many SKCC'ers have asked for a simple, convenient way to make schedule arrangements
with other members--without having to learn or install new software. So,
Andy, K3UK, #1325 and Joe, N8FQ put their creative heads together and
developed a simple,
web-based scheduling utility for SKCC members. This is a FUN and FRIENDLY place. New members and beginners are encouraged to join in the fun too!
No commands
to learn, no mickey-mousing around with new software, the system simply
asks you to provide some basic info about yourself and, whola, you get
a list of all SKCC members looking for some cw fun! Can't get any easier
than that! Nice job guys!

Attention all SKCC members.
The SKCC projects team has declared that 7114 KHz is now the SKCC Elmer Frequency. We challenge our Elmers or any member that wants to help, to monitor that frequency whenever they can.
New CW operators need a safe haven where they can get on the air and
not have to worry about making mistakes. Maybe for that first CW
contact without the stress or fear of worrying about fouling up. The
goal is to take away that fear, because WE DON'T CARE IF YOU MESS UP!
New: Novice Day - Every Friday 0000z to 2400z is now Novice Day on
7114 KHz. No contest, just a day set aside for the beginners, the
slower ops or anyone that wants to help. The goal is to congregate our
beginners and they can help each other. Also to increase activity on
40 meters above 7100 KHz.

Elmers
We've
all faced the daunting task of firing-up the radio for that first CW contact.
Now you can take that shaky, uncertain hand and turn it into a confident,
firm fist with the help of our group of SKCC Morse Code Elmers. Simply
go to the Elmers page; choose from the list
of SKCC Elmers; send off an email requesting a sked and before you know
it you'll be enjoying the thrill of sending and receiving solid CW. The SKCC Elmer Manager is Jeff K9JP.
