CW Fun Day Sunday 18 October 2025

Join in our next CW Fun Day events, on Sunday 19 October 2025 – open to any morse code operators; beginners or experienced; all welcome. There are no logins – just short friendly QSOs.

The CW Fun Day has eight separate “nets” running hourly on different bands through the day, each hosted by a controller, from 11am local time. CW speed is 15wpm-18wpm; but controller can adjust to match a caller.

Enjoy the CW Fun Day and have simple short QSO, standard or rag chew. It’s not a contest – just an opportunity to enjoy some on-air CW with friendly CW operators.

Each controller calls CQ with their own callsign. You listen for the callsign and answer by either sending your own callsign once followed by K, or by sending Controller Callsign DE Your Callsign followed by K.  Exchanges can range from just callsigns, names and reports, to more details such as location, rig, antenna, power etc.

We start at 11am UK time, on 40m. The controller will call CQ on 7024 KHz. If freq is busy or QRM, controller will move up 0.5 to 7024.50 until 7024 is free. Please note that a net controller callsign may be changed at short notice, so listen carefully for the callsign.

If there are several callers replying at the same time, the controller will try to ensure as many as possible have a QSO in turn, so please be patient and call again after the next CQ call. We ask that QSOs can be kept relatively short for a busy net, to about 6 mins.

We recommend use of Reverse Beacon Network (RBN) or Ham Alert, to check for controller callsign and exact calling frequency.
