CW Skills Competition

There was a CW Skills Competition on Wednesday evening before WRTC2014. The event was sponsored by Vibroplex and directed by CW Ops.

The competition consisted of a 3 minute pileup containing 112 callsigns. The average result among the 61 participants was 38 with a median of 40.  It was hard!

The winner was based on number of correct callsigns copied. The number of characters in those callsigns represented the tie breaker.

These 3 little beauties are for the top finishers as gold, silver, and bronze. The first place key features a 24K gold plated finish.
