Email him with any questions in that regard at  .The results on this page are the responsibility of Hap K7HAP. Email him with any questions in that regard at  .LANDLINE TELEGRAPHY PREMISE: Before the days of " wireless " communications, there was the wired landline system. Interconnected by the familiar telegraph circuit, so iconic of the west and the railroad, stations passed traffic at previously unheard of speeds. The circuit consisted of a sending station, which used a hand key and later perhaps a cootie or bug, a wire link of telegraph lines and a receiving station with a telegraph sounder to click out the message. Dots and dashes were received as a series of clicks from the sounder. A key closure would energize the sounder, producing a click followed by a second click as the key was released and the circuit was de-energized. The spacing between clicks determined a dot or dash. In earlier days, a morse register was used instead of a sounder. The message was written by the register as dots and dashes on a clockwork driven, paper tape and decoded later. The maximum distance between stations was limited by the resistance of the wire link and the attendant attenuation of the signal. This limitation was dealt with by an electromechanical device know as a relay. The relay was a solenoid device, similar to a sounder, but with a more sensitive electromagnet that would respond to a weaker signal. As the name implies, the relay would receive the weak signal and resend a copy of the original message on towards its final destination. TIME FRAME: The first day of the month 0000Z through the last day of the month 2400Z RULES: Just make ALL these words from calls of stations you work subject to the General Challenge Rules. (Any spaces in the phrases should be ignored. For example the challenge phrase "INVERTED V ANTENNA" should be treated as if it is the single word "INVERTEDVANTENNA.") LANDLINE TELEGRAPH CIRCUIT SOUNDER RELAY MORSE REGISTER ELECTROMAGNET SOLENOID HAND KEY COOTIE BUG The 86 total letters contain these 19 different letters : A B C D E G H I K L M N O P R S T U Y You can use each letter in a call TWICE. For example you could use K3WWP for 2 K's, 4 W's, and 2 P's. Subsequent QSO's with the same station cannot be used for additional letters. For example, no matter how many times you work K3WWP, you can only use his call for 8 of the letters in the words. See General Rule #5 for more details on what callsign letters can be used. If you need some help with your alphabet challenge record keeping take a look at our Alphabet Tutorial page for everything from some great pencil & paper methods to fully computerized tools. AWARDS: A certificate and Participation Point go to everyone making all the words and submitting their report before the deadline. A Participation Point goes to everyone making at least 1, but not all the words and submitting their report before the deadline. PRIZES: A choice of an item made by master woodworker Gregg WB8LZG as shown on our prizes page here goes to someone selected via a random drawing from all who participate and submit a report for this month's challenge. A person can only win once, then they become ineligible for future drawings. LOGS: For your report, list the words you made and the station used for each letter in the word. The number of stations listed must be the same as the number of letters in each word, even though you use the same station for more than one letter as in: WORD - K3WWP N2OD WA8REI N2OD NEXT - NF8M W8REI N8XMS K9EYT (Note how N2OD is listed for both the O and D.) You may also include comments about the challenge. Please preface any comments you want posted with "SOAPBOX:" so we will know what you want posted and what is private. Send your results as text in the horizontal format shown above to: E-mail: (You must type that address into your email program.)Subject must read: (your call) NAQCC (month) Challenge For example: K3WWP NAQCC February Challenge All entries must be RECEIVED before the 10th of the following month at 2400Z.

Seasonal prop change I s'pose. Keep 'em coming; they are fun to chase after! My compliments to the word challenge mgmt! -72: larry KK0I: Thanks for another fun challenge! KX2 getting broke in now! Love the auto-reporting program ... makes it a breeze. Thanks for all those "ears" out there. Catch you all next month! 73, jack W8BUD: Thanks Hap sorry about my early mistakes but just finished nice QSO with Chip w9ebe to finish me tnx to all for fun challenge Bud W8BUD my new inverted L is working great K9OSC: Another nice Challenge. Hardest letters for me were the O's. Lots of nice 2XQRP QSO's along the way which just added to the fun. G3JFS: I found most of the letters quite quickly but got left needing an E and a T. Just got the last one, the T, by breaking a big pile up chasing TC10U. Conditions have improved slightly but qsb is often a problem making it necessary to rely on quick rubber stamp contacts to complete the challenge. 73 Peter WB4OMM: Wow! Lotsa "E"s!! Thought I'd never get them.....fianllly looked for DX....and got HR9/W1UE for the last two! This is fun! Makes me get on the radio for a few hours regulalry.......Happy Thanskgiving!!!! 72/73! Steve #5913 K1YAN: An interesting month for propagation. Heard what sounded like auroral signals on 40m ... not often heard below the VHF bands. Also a couple of dead days with no workable signals for most of the day. In spite of it all, things came together for the challenge. KI4IO: I'd like to buy a vowel! More specifically the letter "O"! Alas, I was able to accrue my last "O" the old fashioned way, by working WB4DBO. Thanks Bill! W0ITT: I worked through the challenge quickly, but reached a point where I needed two I's and one O. I started to look for more individual QSO's, then thought of my friend KI4IO and we set up a sked. (Thanks, Jerry) Mission Accomplished. KJ4R: PFR 3B to vertical. Took a while to get all the "E"s! Finished the challenge on 11/28 with CT9/Dl7UGN for the last "U". Band conditions were pretty good on 30 and 40 for me this month. 73 WV8DH: This was a fun challenge and the last letter for me was a "G". Always look forward to doing the challenges. Rig this time was was the Icom IC-7300 which I got last month and I really like it. Antenna is the ZS6BKW (G56RV) at 32 feet and the key was the Japanese JJ-38. All the best 72 from Wild and Wonderful West Virginia, Dave AK3X: This challenge was fun, especially finding all those pesky letter "E"s. It certainly got me on the air more often than usual. At the end of the day VE7ACN/7, an IOTA station in British Columbia came to my rescue on 20 meters for the last E needed for "COOTIE." 72 all. K1IEE: Another great challenge. Got a late start on the challenge caused by early November big rain and wind storm and lost power for 10 days. Thankful that the bands seemed more active this time. Thanks to all 73 Dick K3WWP: Too many Os, too little time, but at least I've still participated in every one of the NAQCC challenges over the 13+ years. N8XMS: I hardly had enough time to breath this month, let alone get on the air! I managed to complete only 2 of the words. VE3DQN: It frustrated me that I was only one letter away from completing several other words in the Challenge. Admittedly, I started the Challenge too late in the month, and the CQ WW captured my attention this past weekend. WA2FBN: Another fun challenge this month. Thanks to all who make these challenges possible. 72 Ken W2JEK: DIDN'T GET THEM ALL THIS TIME. NEEDED AN "O". FROM WHAT I READ IN THE SOAPBOX THEY WERE IN SHORT SUPPLY. THAT IS WHY IT IS A CHALLENGE. 72 and 73 Don |
