Greetings,
This year’s North American CW Weekend is on, scheduled for June 9-11, 2023.
As in the past, the Weekend is primarily aimed at those amateur radio operators with a particular interest in Morse code (CW) operation – FOC, CWOPS, SKCC, FISTS – but anyone with an interest in Morse code communication is welcome. After two years of cancellations due to COVID restrictions, we had a good 2022 weekend, and are pleased to welcome regulars back, and look forward to meeting some new players.
Although COVID-19 increasingly appears to be in the rearview mirror, we are asking participants to be vaccinated and to use good sense with respect to any recommendations about COVID in force at the time of the weekend. At this point, masks are not required, and there are no other special precautions.
