WWSA 2010 Update
On Saturday June 12th from 1500Z until Sunday
13th at 1500Z, we will have our CW international party on the HF
bands, it is the World Wide South America CW Contest
where the South Americans played during that 24 hours the role of the 'stars'.
That day the football World Cup in South Africa will be running and
Argentina will play its first match against Nigeria on Saturday 12th at
1400Z but later there will be other games Greece Vs England and
Korea Vs USA.
We have been discussing, a little joke and a little serious
about the difficulty mean this game schedule, some argue that the band will be
empty of argentines and others that very few of them will give importance to
football and they will be mostly QRV in the bands.
Anyway this will be a real challenge for us as a WWSA organizer country,
so we're spreading to the LU stations to be prepared to have a TV nearby shack
for the contest and watch time to time the second half time, hi hi.
In another way Guillermo LW1EXU has already made the address registration of the new blog will have as soon as possible exclusively dedicated for WWSA, for now you can only see a text sign. The address is http://www.wwsatest.org and we hope to begin to build the entire history of our WWSA with results, photos, and everything that may be of interest to Contesters.
Esteban LW1DTZ has also worked extensively for the development and improvement of software control tools and his progress is very interesting, but Iīm not sure that we can count on them for the occasion. We'll see how follow the progress of our 'Official Developer'.
Among our progress I would say that if you visit the page and click http://gacw.no-ip.org and then the WWSA CW Contest item menu, will see that the rules are now available in six languages, Castilian, English, German , Romanian, Portuguese and French. The number (Hits) that appears to the right of each topic is the number of times this page has been accessed.
The site for WD8KNC ALL in ONE
software that includes WWSA computations of points and multipliers while you
are running the contest has been redirected to the new temporary accommodation:
http://www.ghafler.com/wd8knc.html
The GACW web site administratoir Gabriel LU3DAT made some shanges to show a a clck counting the remaining time for the WWSA starting.
That's it for today folks.
Best regards
Alberto LU1DZ
