Regular practice is a key part of improving Morse Code proficiency. Simply doing endless recorded practice sessions becomes boring after awhile and doesn’t mimic real-world band conditions very well. For those trying to grow your CW speed to 15 to 20 WPM, participating in the K1USN SST mini-contests is a sure fire way to improve both your sending and receiving skills.
Fridays 20:00-21:00 UTC: 4-5pm EDT
Mondays 00:00-01:00 UTC: 8-9pm EDT
80 meters 3.528 – 3.545 MHz

The contest exchange is quite simple. Stations will exchange their call signs, name and state. Give it a try!
