Let me expand on that a bit. W T W and WOTMC are 2 completely seperate Awards. As you stated, M5PLY, the "P" can count for WOTMC, and for "P" on W T W. There will be something posted the FAQ's to cover this. Milt. N6MG

I'm assuming yes, since they're totally separate awards ... e.g. you can
count a contact with me for a "I" for WOTM, WTW, and for Lower48::SC. --david KJ4IZW On Sun, Jul 1, 2012 at 6:40 AM, ivor peters <m5ply@...> wrote: ** [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

The shortest endorsement is SA with 84 QSO's needed (and longest Africa

with 441) ... The endorsement checker automatically fills in the blanks to complete the "shortest" endorsements first :) See your endorsement checker report or the workbook ( http://dwestbrook.net/projects/ham/070-checker/070-WTW.xls ) for more stats on the various endorsements & letters ... e.g. for the whole thing need 363 "A"'s! --david KJ4IZW

Now there's an idea. I could tell them that I am involved in researching the next generation "receive all" antennas for TV or whatever. That way I could change up the config anytime I wanted to. HI HI. Joe KA1PPV #1482

WTW Opportunity Hot on the heels of Milt's Work the World (WTW) announcement comes the first of three low band contests - the 40-meter Firecracker Sprint. This is not only a great opportunity to compete in a contest, but also to pick up some new call signs toward the new WTW endorsement (only callsigns logged after July 1, 2012, count for WTW, so this is the first 070 sponsored contest since the endorsement's inception). As are all of the three Low Band Sprints, this contest is 6 hours in length, and starts at 8:00 p.m. YOUR LOCAL TIME on July 7th (next Saturday). The contest runs through 2:00 a.m. July 8th YOUR LOCAL TIME (next Sunday). I had to shout there because there's always confusion about the rolling start, and rather than explaining things clearly, I'd rather just raise my voice. Well, that's what my kids say.... Seriously, the contest starts when your clock says it's 8:00 p.m. on July 7th, and ends at 2:00 a.m. on the 8th for everyone. We don't run it using UTC. Why? Because we try to equalize band conditions between time zones. As the low bands are generally better at night, it wouldn't be fair if someone had to compete in daylight. I know it raises some issues, such as: What if you're on PDT and you work someone on EDT before the contest starts in your time zone? Can you claim the point, and what about the other station? Well, if you want to work stations before your contest time, that's fine. Unfortunately for you, you get no contest credit. Fortunately for the other station, they get credit for their QSO with you (but may be reluctant to work you later as you'll be a dupe in their log). This is a fun contest because certificates are given out by time zones and power classes, so you only compete with those in your time zone running a similar level of power. There are three recognized power classes: QRP (<5 Watts), Low (<50 Watts) and Medium (< 100 Watts). The complete rules may be found at: http://www.podxs070.com/40-meter-firecracker-sprint 73, and I hope to catch many of you on the waterfall next weekend.

40-meter Low Band Sprint... WTW Opportunity

They will be a Scoring Tool on David's website as soon as he releases it. He was awaiting our announcement on the 070 website. It gives a comprehensive breakdown as to continent and country and how many of each letter is involved. We're 23 minutes into it already. Have fun. Milt.

It's an award to encourage everyone to get on the air more, perhaps to participate in our operating events a little more and have a more enjoyable time with psk31. Enjoy and, 73, Milt.
