SKCC Weekend Sprintathon (WES) June
UTC Dates and Times
Begin: Saturday June 08, 2024 at 1200Z
End: Sunday June 09, 2024 at 2359Z
This event repeats each month beginning on the second Saturday. Operate up to 36 hours.
Each month the SKCC Weekend Sprintathon features one or more Bonus Stations. In SKCC jargon, these stations are referred to as EGGs.
Theme for June 2024 — The bonus involves “Old Timers and Summer Bands”. If you held an amateur radio license 25 years ago or longer you will send your name/XX (number of years licensed). You can collect an additional 5 points for each QSO by using the “Summer Bands” during this SKCC event.
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.
