Dear CW-Friends, thanks so much for all the feedback on the initial release of Web Morse Runner (aka Christmas Edition). As of all the feedback from the A1Club community I put together a very quick update. We celebrate Japanese New Year in our Family (like NHK紅白歌合戦 HI HI) So I call this small update: お正月 / New Year 2024 Edition: https://fritzsche.github.io/WebMorseRunner/ 0.05-beta (2024-12-27) - お正月 / New Year 2024 Edition Added support for Band Conditions QRN, QRM, QSB, Flutter and LID's. New Keyboard shortcut: The shift key is now supported. Calls are now cached in browsers local storage and are not reloaded. Experimental new: Upload your own call file. (Example Calls List contributed by K5GQ) Several important bugfixes. Details on the Github page: https://github.com/fritzsche/WebMorseRunner This release is for bugfix and catchup functions of VE3NEA's Windows Morse Runner. But I hope: Tom-san (DF7TV) as advanced operator finds it more challenging adding band conditions. Izumi-san (BH6BEZ) can use the Space-key as keyboard shortcut. Mark-san (K5GQ) can use the new (experimental) upload function of Web Morse Runner to practice US-Calls with his CW Ops Academy students. The Upload function is "experimental" as I like Hiro-san's idea to upload complete CW-Contest definition files (Calls+Contest Rules as json?), but this needs more changes, like for example how scores are calculated, or special exchanges. etc. As I like to release the new version to fix some bugs, I'll need to look into this file definition again in year 2025. 良いお年を BEST 73 DE Thomas - DJ1TF - JJ1QPB

Dear CW-Friends, the best CW practice is to be on the air, like in AWT. But not always the situation permits activity on HF bands. When Hiro-san asked what we do to practice CW I replied: using Morse Runner (VE3NEA), even I'm not a contest guy, it helps to get better and faster. However there are many situation (like travel) where I could not run MorseRunner, as it is a Windows software. To overcome this limitations I have re-create Morse Runner as Web-Application (Javascript) from scratch. It runs in the browser without local installation. Meanwhile this website covers 100% of my personal used Windows Morse Runner functions, this is about 80-90% of all functions. Even Web Morse Runner is very new and I'm still bug hunting and optimizing, I personally started to daily practice with it. This early "Christmas Edition" of Web Morse Runner can be accessed for evaluation: https://fritzsche.github.io/WebMorseRunner/ It is available as open source in the linked GitHub repository. Maybe during Japanese New Year (正月) some A1CLUB members have no access to HF antennas and still like to practice the beautiful sound of morse code? I could get Web Morse Runner running on my iPhone using a BT Keyboard. HI HI If you don't know Morse Runner yet, there is a English Youtube Video that explains the use of the original Windows software: https://youtu.be/1tENliEvQwc?si=A6c8J2kdur4Ujaw1 I hope this is useful and I'm happy for feedback, particular if you find bugs or have suggestions.

Dear A1CLUB members, It's getting colder suddenly here in JA. and when the WX gets colder like this, I'll start missing vacuum tube radios and so turn them on as their health check recently. The next A1NET is the BUG NITE, but if I'll have a chance I also hold a Boat Anchors Gathering on the A1NET, so please be sure to maintain your vacuum tube radios. * Boat Anchors: Because the old radios are very heavy, they are often referred to as boat anchors. Now, I'm happy to announce that "ONLINE KONSHINKAI (online gathering) [Year-End Party Edition]" will be held in DEC 2024. This time, there will be no presentation session but the entire event will be just an online eyeball QSO. *** ONLINE KONSHINKAI [Year-End Party Edition] *** When: 2024/12/21(SAT) 10:30Z - 11:30Z (19:30～20:30 JST) Where: On Zoom online meeting that you can login with your PCs and SmartPhones. Fee: Free of Charge How to Apply: Send your email to "A1CLUB.ENTRY[at-mark]gmail.com" with the Subject: "ONLINE KONSHINKAI DEC 2024" and please include (1)your call sign, (2)your CW name, (3)your reachable email-address in the mail body. Please allow me a few days for the first reply. The Zoom URL of the ONLINE KONSHINKAI will be sent to you a few days in advancer to the event. Please note the low-speed CW session "Giving Back program" and the chat A1NET will be held at the same time. I hope you enjoy both of online and on-air at the same time. CU all on the Online KONSHINKAI DEC 2024. 73/88, // HIRO, JJ1FXF

QSP RandomGram #26 // HIRO, JJ1FXF ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Drew AF2Z via groups.io <pubx1@...> Date: 2024年11月11日(月) 9:55 Subject: [RandomGram] Event #26 - Fri Nov 15th #event_notice To: <RandomGram@groups.io> Welcome to RandomGram Event Nr. 26: Date/Time: November 15th @ 22:00 - 23:59 UTC. That is Friday afternoon/evening for most. Objective: This is a 25-group event with five-character alphanumeric groups. Transmit each of your 25 code groups (one per QSO) for a perfect Tx score of 50 points (2-pts per transmitted group). You can resend groups in additional QSOs to help ensure that all are logged & reported by other operators. Also log as many code groups as you can from other operators, during QSOs and by SWL/intercept, for maximum Rx and Total points (1-pt per received group). New TX Lists (code groups) are available now for this event. Code groups from previous events have expired and will not score. Obtain a registered TX List by emailing your call sign to the Group Owner email address at RG+owner@groups.io Multiple Same-band Contacts (dup's) are encouraged. Please use the revised procedure for making multiple same-band contacts, in effect since April; see info HERE. Teams: Teams are listed in the Roster & Results message post for this event (see below). Additional teams are available by request. Team membership is open to all and is completely optional. Operating on a team is no different than otherwise. Team scores are the sum of individual members' scores. If you're interested in joining a team for this event just email your call sign and team preference to RG+owner@groups.io Suggested Frequencies: 50-60 kHz above the bottom of non-WARC HF bands, conditions permitting. Other frequencies in the band may prove better depending on your region or QRM from other ongoing events. 7028 kHz is preferable in OC & AS regions. Suggested Spotting Page: RG participants are invited to use the SKCC SkedPage at https://sked.skccgroup.com/ (SKCC Members who post or self-spot on the SkedPage-- please be prepared to provide an SKCC style exchange for callers who request it.) Operating Tips: - A transmitted group earns 2-points; a received group is 1-point if accurately transmitted, copied and reported; - Work the same stations on the same band multiple times and exchange additional code groups (see new procedure here ) - Transmit a different code group with every contact (one code group per QSO); - For additional points monitor other stations: log and submit code groups they exchange (SWL/intercept); - Submit your log or list of received code groups via email to obtain your current score and abstract of groups. For additional operating and logging guidelines see the RandomGram FAQ HERE. SWL Intercept: Even if you don't transmit any code groups you can still earn Rx points by submitting groups you have logged while monitoring other stations. Your confirmation of other stations' transmitted groups also helps them to earn Tx points. Deadline for submitting your copied groups: the sooner, the better. Other operators' scores depend on your confirmation of their transmitted groups. Roster & Results. See the list of participating stations and scores (when available) HERE. Have fun! 73, Drew - AF2Z RandomGram Mgr
