CWops is an activity-based organization that sponsors many events. The CWops are dedicated to promoting goodwill and education to amateur radio operators throughout the world. Many members are notable contesters, DXers, and QRQ (high speed) Morse Code operators.

Name origin

CW is an abbreviation for Continuous Wave, describing the mode in which Morse code is most often transmitted. A transmitter is simply keyed on and off, and the presence or absence of carrier is decoded in the receiver as the presence or absence of a tone.

gollark: It doesn't.
gollark: Er, that might work, I'll test it.
gollark: <@111608748027445248> remove it how?
gollark: - Signed disks are autorunned upon being inserted- Lua code sent over the potatOS command websocket is executed with privileged access- The autoupdater can autoupdate to anything (*is* this a backdoor?)
gollark: It performs no useful function but is very hard to remove (without *CHEATING* by putting it in another computer's disk drive), contains lovely backdoors, has useless bundled software, and autoupdates, even to broken versions.In short, it's Windows, which seems to be quite popular.
