The Outlaw Wireless League K3OWL

Welcome to the Outlaw Wireless League Home Page.

The members of the OWLS, wishing to enjoy amateur radio in the short-wave spectrum (1.8 to 30 MHz), have as our purpose promoting the art of DXing, contesting, and rag-chewing in the short-wave bands; to exchange information and co-operation between amateurs and encourage the art of communicating via short-wave radio.

All licensed amateur radio operators with an interest in courteous use of the amateur HF spectrum are eligible for membership, providing they are able to demonstrate their ability to copy CW (continuous wave) telegraphy at the rate required by the FCC for the license held. Membership is granted by invitation only. A candidate for membership must be sponsored by at least two active members. Alternatively, any candidate who has been presented with an ARRL Official Observer's Report within the past year may elect exemption from sponsorship. Membership in the Outlaw Wireless League is granted by two-thirds vote of the active membership.

• Operate and submit a contest score on behalf of the club at least once in the current year
  (preferably the PA QSO Party).
  
• Submit proof of at least one CW DX QSO in the current year on the short-wave bands.
  
• Submit proof of at least one HF RAG-CHEW of 30 minute minimum duration during the current year.
  
• Produce a new ARRL Official Observer's Report (citation) for the current year

It also should be noted that activities concerning frequencies above 30 MHz shall not be discussed at meetings, unless relating to DXCluster operation. Any member found wasting the League's time with such trivia shall be appropriately disciplined.
