The number of tubes received from the contacted SKCC station count as bonus points

 

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!
