Yes, you can go straight to General Class in one session, i.e., by passing the two written elements and the 13 WPM code test at one sitting. Yes, it is a practical objective to aim your initial speed into the 13-15 WPM range. [I agree, 5 WPM and 13 WPM speeds do sound like two different languages. I find it very difficult to copy at speeds below 10 WPM..the characters just don't sound "right".] Do become very familiar with the typical CW QSO format. It is what is used in administering the code test. Be able to identify call signs, signal reports, locations, equipment and names..all of these will be part of the code test.

Region 7661 (N08E37) was numbered today. The flux has experienced a significant increase, possibly due to Region 7661. Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be mostly at low levels. The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is expected to be at unsettled to active levels, due to a coronal hole.

High Latitudes Active 05/35/35 Minor Storm 01/25/25 Major-Severe Storm 01/10/10 HF propagation conditions continued normal over all regions. Similar conditions are expected on 25 January. A coronal disturbance should result in minor signal degradation for transpolar and transauroral circuits on 26 and 27 January.

The 49-minute film is part of the CQ Communications video library, which also includes films on satellite operation, DXing, contests, and packet radio. Executive producer of the film was ARRL Northern New Jersey Section Manager Rich Moseson, NW2L. The awards were presented January 14 in New York City.

This was 2,182,000 cards for DX destinations. The US Incoming QSL Bureau's volunteers sorted just over two million cards in 1993, as well. Information on the operation of the QSL Bureaus is on pages 98 and 99 of QST for January 1994.
