The Annual W2RS Memorial AMSAT CW Activity Day occurs each year on January 1st. The event runs 0000 UTC to 2359 UTC January on New Year's Day.
In March 2022, the AMSAT community lost one of our pioneers when Ray Soifer, W2RS, became a silent key. In addition to his numerous contributions to AMSAT and the worldwide amateur satellite community, Ray was also the long time organizer of AMSATâ€Ös CW Activity Day – previously AMSAT Straight Key Night – held in conjunction with the ARRLâ€Ös event on New Yearâ€Ös Day. In recognition of Rayâ€Ös long time service to AMSAT and his keen interest in CW operating via satellite, AMSATâ€Ös CW Activity Day is now known as the W2RS Memorial AMSAT CW Activity Day.
