The SKCC Weekend Sprintathon often features some type of Bonus Points.
The October Bonus Point theme supports the SKCC Triple Key Award (TKA).
Operators who have earned the SKCC TKA Award will transmit, as part of the Exchange, their name followed by /TKA.
Each station receiving such a name/TKA exchange will be awarded 5 Bonus Points for the QSO.
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.
