NEXT FMT

Next FMT: Wednesday, October 1

Please check back for last minute changes.

160 Meters run: Approximate frequency of K5CM - 1846 KHz

10:45 PM EDT

9:45 PM CDT

8:45 PM MDT

7:45 PM PDT

This FMT will be a little different. Focused at not only accuracy but speed as well.

You must submit your entry within 30 minutes after the start of the run. You can submit your entry as soon as you hear the first dit of the transmission if you want. Keep in mind that I may change frequency after I send QRL (is the frequency in use) if someone is using the frequency.

A certificate will be given to the station posting a reading nearest the transmission frequency within the 30 minute reporting period.

A certificate will also be given to the first station posting a reading within 100 millihertz.

Up to three entry's will be allowed, but only the last one counts. You can try for both certificates, but again, only one entry is allowed (the last). I will leave it to you to maximize your chance with multiple submissions. If you should accidentally submit more than three times, the third entry will count.

Because we are still experimenting with this format there will not be a West coast run this time.

If you don't want to spend time entering comments on the entry form, please post your comments on FMT-nuts, or send them directly to k5cm.

K5CM will start out with a three minute call up followed by a 4 minute key down period. The call up will consist of several "QST QST QST DE K5CM QST QST QST DE K5CM CALLING FMT" groups.

Send your results and comments within 30 minutes using the Web entry form.

If you submit more than once, make sure your last entry has all of the information for each band. (Submitting 20 m on one entry and 40 m on another will NOT work.)

Web entry form Be sure to reload/refresh the form.

Send wave files, screen caps, etc to k5cm-2@suddenlink.net
