OPERATION DRUMBEAT

PREMISE:
It is 1942, the United States and Germany are officially at war and the US is shipping material to Europe to aid the Allies. Germany sees the interruption of the supplies flowing to Europe as a key factor in winning the war. Admiral Karl Donitz, commander of the German U-boat fleet, authors Operation Paukenschlag or Drumbeat to accomplish this objective. He believes that the US is ill prepared to defend against submarine attacks off the US coast and is proved right by the early success of his plan.

Two fleets of U-boats are deployed, one to the waters near Newfoundland and a second to the US coast between Portland, ME and New York. The attacks begin on January 11, 1942 when U-123 sinks the British freighter Cyclops, 300 miles east of Cape Cod. At this time there are virtually no defensive measures in place. Lights along the shore and in lighthouses are lit at night, providing easy targets and navigation. There are no mine fields, regular aerial or nautical patrols and individual ships depart with no naval escorts.

Losses are mounting quickly and no U-boats have been destroyed. The British Admiralty sends an officer to Washington to make a case for the convoy system, which they have found to be a successful tactic against U-boat attack. In April the convoys begin and the first U-boat sinks off the North Carolina coast. The Civil Air Patrol, using small private aircraft begins patrols which deter attacks because U-boats have orders to submerge and hide when sighting aircraft. These patrols are known as the Flying Minutemen and are piloted by civilian men and women. An auxiliary patrol, consisting of private yachts and fishing boats, known as the Hooligan Navy, begins patrols which spot U-boats and rescue sinking survivors. Mines are placed and naval and military air defenses are becoming more effective. The tide has turned and in July Donitz redeploys his fleet, ending Operation Drumbeat.

Operation Drumbeat greatly impacted oil supplies in the Northeast, by intercepting fuel oil deliveries from the south and thus slowing US wartime production. It also resulted in gasoline rationing, a most unpopular wartime restriction.


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.")

ADMIRAL KARL DONITZ
OPERATION PAUKENSCHLAG
FREIGHTER CYCLOPS
FLYING MINUTEMEN
THE HOOLIGAN NAVY

The 84 total letters contain these 21 different letters : A C D E F G H I K L M N O P R S T U V Y Z

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: pix_email_k7hap (1K) (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.

Soapbox:

 
K1IEE: Spent many hours each day trying find active band conditions. That said 20M,
30M and 40M worked for me. Not sure I found a best time of the day its kind
of like leave the rig on and check the bands frequently. 73 To All Dick

N8XMS: After several months of being totally skunked in our challenges I finally 
had enough time to get on the air, collect letters, and complete a challenge!  
And it feels great!

PA9CW: The letter "Z" was difficult to collect.  CU in the next challenge.

DH0DK: Tested the Challenges Log program. Very well.
22 days needed for the last 2 N. Very long time.
All QSO QRP-Tcvr "SKY-SDR" power 5W and ant Dipole for 40m-Band. Thanks to all, 
vy 72 Ben 7576

G4TGJ: This month I have activated 5 SOTA summits on 20 and 40m CW with my 
FT817ND so have plenty of QRP QSOs to complete the challenge. 72 de Richard

AK3X: Another fun challenge.  Last letter needed was a Z and I kept finding a 
QSO with a "Z" station and losing out to QSB or a thunderstorm.  Finally heard 
W5ZR booming on 40 meters with his 2 element Quad at 75 feet.  Thanks for the 
QSO, Bert!  72 Peter

NF1U: Another fun month of QRP bliss.   As get further into the fall hopefully 
the Thunder & Lighting storms will diminish AND Propagation will improve.

AB9BZ: Didn't make it this month, poor band condxs when I could get on. Too 
busy to spend a lot of time on the air. It was fun anyway, thanks for the 
challenge. 73 ab9bz

VE3DQN: Sometimes only a few letters make the difference between getting one 
word or a clean sweep. That's the case this month. Besides, summer is the time 
for gardening, traveling, visitors, kayaking, BBQs, picnics. And a little ham 
radio. 

WB4OMM: Well....better one word than none!  Hoping for more in September!  73! Steve

W2JEK: WAS A GOOD CHALLENGE. LAST LETTER WAS 'I'. GOOD FUN 72/73  DON

AC2C: Another fun challenge. Not too hard but I had too many other distractions 
to finish it earlier.
