Notes:
CWs = Morse Code practice (slow) = 5, 7.5, 10, 13 and 15 WPM
CWf = Morse Code practice (fast) = 35, 30, 25, 20, 15, 13 and 10 WPM
CWb = Morse Code Bulletins = 18 WPM
CW frequencies include code practices, Qualifying Runs and CW
bulletins.
DIGITAL = BAUDOT (45.45 baud), BPSK31 and MFSK16 in a revolving
schedule.
Code practice texts are from QST, and the source of each practice is
given at the beginning of each practice and at the beginning of
alternate speeds.
On Tuesdays and Fridays at 2230 UTC (6:30 PM ET), Keplerian Elements
for active amateur satellites are sent on the regular digital
frequencies.
A DX bulletin replaces or is added to the regular bulletins between
0000 UTC (8 PM ET) Thursdays and 0000 UTC (8 PM ET) Fridays.
In a communications emergency, monitor W1AW for special bulletins as
follows: Voice on the hour, Digital at 15 minutes past the hour, and
CW on the half hour.
FCC licensed amateurs may operate the station from 1400 UTC to 1600
UTC (10 AM to 12 PM ET), and then from 1700 UTC to 1945 UTC (1 PM to
3:45 PM ET) Monday through Friday. Be sure to bring your current
FCC amateur license or a photocopy.
The complete W1AW Operating Schedule may be found on page 102 in the
March 2010 issue of QST or on the web at,
http://www.arrl.org/w1aw.html#w1awsked .
Also, just a reminder that beginning today, March 15, 2010, W1AW
alternates the digital modes used for its digital bulletin
transmissions. While Baudot, BPSK31 and MFSK16 still make up the
digital mode complement, the schedule is altered to give more
exposure to BPSK31 and MFSK16. Because of time constraints and the
varying lengths of digital bulletins, there were many instances in
the past when only Baudot was used.
With the new schedule, amateurs preferring either BPSK31 or MFSK16
will find these modes no longer secondary.
The regular callup is made using the mode that is transmitted first.
The digital bulletin times remain at 6 PM and 9 PM eastern, daily.
The Tuesday and Friday Keplerian data bulletins will continue to be
sent using just Baudot and BPSK31.
Given time constraints and bulletin lengths, all three modes may not
always be transmitted.
The new digital schedule can be found in teleprinter and packet
versions of 2010 ARRL Bulletin ARLB005.
