It is back to the previous method of sending a clean CW signal. I did not participate previously, so I have no experience with the test. If I understand correctly, they will transmit on all 3 frequencies simultaneously, but we are supposed to measure only the specific band they announce at a time? Since I only have a decent antenna for 80m, can I take advantage of all 3 transmit windows on 80m?

The "official" readings are taken for the band that is announced. Even though the exciters at W1AW are left on for an extended period of time before the test, there is some drift during the test period. I would suggest that you listen on 160 and 40 meters during the callup to determine wether you have a shot on those bands or not. If you are going to submit in the tenths of Hz, I would suggest that you only measure during the announced time for that band. Good Luck!! 73, Don, W4WJ _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list time-nuts@febo.com https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
