The SKCC Weekend Sprintathon often features some type of Bonus Points.
March theme — Bug and Cootie keys (Sideswiper hand key)
Bonus points will be earned by contacting stations that are using a bug or cootie (sideswiper).
Stations using one of those keys should make note in their exchange by sending name/b (for BUG) or name/ss (for SIDESWIPER (cootie).
SKCC runs a monthly activity, which is a great environment for getting comfortable with contest-like CW QSOs.
The Weekend Sprintathon (WES) spans a weekend, each with a fun theme for collecting bonus points.
These events provide a great opportunity for those seeking various SKCC recognition levels, besides contacting friends old and new!
Typically, SKCC operators will QRS to the speed of the station calling them.
