EUCW SKD is not a race in the true sense of the word. It is rather a friendly meeting of all supporters of telegraph operation CW with use manual so-called "pump key" keys. The goal is to make several connections just using the hand wrench and greet soul mates on the bands.
This event is organized annually during Swedish solstice day, that is, on Saturday between June 20 and 26.
