Please click here for current and past QST — but please note:

  • if marked DRAFT the QST is not finalized, and not ready for broadcast
  • QST should not be broadcast before the 1000Z Saturday broadcast
  • Repeat broadcasts must not occur until after the first Saturday broadcast has been completed

Up to 80% of active CW operators in VK are interested in having a CW broadcast

  • Note that non-Foundation Licenses allow broadcast of information of interest to radio amateurs sent by computer
  • QST ideally sent by Computer-generated CW, but could be also sent by good fist, or experienced keyers
  • If you plan to do regular re-broadcasts please inform VKCW in the comments below so we can list your schedule
  • Reliable operators willing to do the broadcast(s) please join the E-List and offer your services
  • Broadcasts will be initially done using own callsigns but later we may obtain approval for a special callsign
  • Callsigns must be given at least once every 10 minutes
