Dear OMs



The Oland Amateur Radio Society, SK7RN and the Scandinavian CW Activity
Group (SCAG) are pleased to announce a stimulating CW activity (on all the
HF Bands) for Scandinavian amateur radio operators for Calendar year 2013.



SOCWA involves CW (Continuous Wave) contact by and between amateur radio
operators in the Scandinavian countries of Denmark, Finland, Greenland,
Iceland, Norway and Sweden. (Prefixes OY, JW, JX, OH0 and OJ0 also count
as Scandinavian countries.)



A Scandinavian amateur radio operator is:

1) an individual who holds a valid permit or license issued by one of the
above listed countries, or

2) an individual whose original license was issued by any one of the
aforementioned countries.



Radio amateurs from other countries outside of Scandinavia who register
are welcome to participate in the SOCWA, but in order to qualify for a
Completion Certificate; each qualified two-way CW contact must include an
amateur operator from one of the listed Scandinavian countries.



The SOCWA program will be in effect for Calendar Year 2013 (01-Jan-2013
through 31-Dec-2013) in order to maximize the total amount of qualified
two-way QSOs.

Recommended frequencies (khz): 1835-1840, 3535-3540, 7035-7040,
10125-10130, 14035-14040, 18085-18090, 21035-21040, 24905-24910, 28035-28040



Listen for stations calling CQ SAX!



Very welcome to try a contact with Scandinavia and get a very nice SOCWA
Award!
