The CW Open is a race organized by the American club CWops (http://www.cwops.org/). The club currently has over 1,200 members and is dedicated to the promotion and support of CW telegraph operations. The race is open to all radio amateurs, CWops members and non-members alike, and this year's edition will take place on Saturday, August 31, 2013. It is a fast race where a "rate" of 100 can be achieved QSO/hod. Súťaží sa na všetkých KV pásmach (160, 80, 40, 20, 15 a 10 m); na pásmach WARC sa nesúťaží. Pretek je rozdelený do troch štvrohodinových etáp: 0000–0359 UTC, 1200–1559 UTC a 2000–2359 UTC. Zúčastniť sa môžete jednej alebo viacerých etáp, pričom každá sa vyhodnocuje samostatne. Denníky musia byť zaslané z každej etapy zvlášť.

Only individuals compete, but teams can be formed (regardless of location; you can be on a team with e.g. US stations, etc.), with team members adding up points. The team competition is evaluated separately. package, skimmer a Reverse Beacon Network (RBN) sú povolené!
Competition code
Predáva sa číslo spojenia a meno (napr. 8 PETR). Spojenia sa číslujú od 001 v každej etape zvlášť; úvodné nuly nie je potrebné používať. RST it is not part of the competition code and therefore does not need to be broadcast.
Scoring and multipliers
1 QSO = 1 point, regardless of country, zone, band, etc. Every brand we work with for the first time is a multiplier, i.e. j. if we work e.g. with W1RM at 20m, W1RM is a multiplier. Another connection with this station on 15 m is no longer a multiplier.
