    W1AW's transmitting schedule occurs at the same local Eastern time throughout the year.

    The schedule may change if your local time does not have seasonal adjustments.

    Daily Morse Code Practice QST Source

    Code practice text is from the pages of QST magazine, the League's membership journal. The source is given at the beginning of
    each practice session and alternate speeds within each session. For example, "Text is from December 2019 QST, pages 46"
    indicates that the practice session's plain text is from the article on page 46.

    W1AW EchoLink Conference Server - W1AWBDCT

    Audio from W1AW’s CW code practices and CW/digital/phone bulletins is available using EchoLink via the W1AW Conference
    Server “W1AWBDCT.” The monthly W1AW Qualifying Runs are presented here as well. The audio is sent in real-time and
    runs concurrently with W1AW’s regular transmission schedule.

    All users who connect to the conference server are muted. Please note that any questions or comments about this server should
    not be sent via the “Text” window in EchoLink. Please send any questions or comments to w1aw@arrl.org.

    Please note that W1AW is also present on the list of active EchoLink stations. However, W1AW is listed as "BUSY" since this
    connection is used for the conference server.

    Information about EchoLink can be found at http://www.echolink.org.
