| CW FOR NEW 9M2 | |
| Intro : People who know CW are special and different from many other hams in the thinking, attitudes and ability. Passing a driving license without driving the car will not provide any skill enhancement. You need to use it everyday to gain the skill. Since we are not professional, we tend to make mistakes. Don't be scared of making errors. I have written on CW procedures several time. I would advise you to refer to IARU's manual which I have pasted it in my web page. | |
| 1. Calling CQ - CQ CQ CQ CQ CQ CQ DE 9M2XXX 9M2XXX 9M2XXX K | |
| CQ CQ CQ CQ CQ CQ DE 9M2XXX 9M2XXX 9M2XXX PSE K Pse - Please | |
|
2. Call to break in when 2 or 3 stations are in CW sessions. Usually we don't do this except when we need to inform any emergency cases. But among local friends we call for break to join in. To do this press BK . I think once will do. When you press BK, the station transmitting will will say QRZ ? Then you give your full call sign like 9M2XXX BK . |
|
| 3. Let us repeat process 1; 9M2XXX is calling CQ . After
he press K he might hear something like this
9M2XXX de JA2AUI or just JA2AUI Your next step is JA2AUI DE 9M2XXX - GE OM TNX FOR COMING BCK TO MICALL - UR RST IS 599 5NN OP MAN MAN MAN QTH IS KUANTAN KUANTAN KUANTAN HOW CPY ? K GE or GA or GM ( Good evening/afternoon/morning) - OM ( Old man ) OB ( Old Boy ) - tTNX or TKS ( Thanks) - BCK ( Back) - MICALL ( My call )- 5NN ( 5 nine nine )- OP ( Operator - you can use NAME instead of OP ) 9M2XXX DE JA2AUI FB CPY DR MAN TKS FER RPT UR RST 5NN NAME IS KIYO KIYO KIYO QTH IS TOKYO TOKYO TOKYO - WX HOT TEMP IS 33 C MY RIG IS IC706 PWR 100 1TT ANT DP - QRU TKS FER QSO ES HPE CUAGN GL GB 73 9M2XXX DE JA2AUI K DR ( Dear ) - FB CPY ( Fine Business Copy ) - FER RPT( For Report ) - WX ( Weather ) - pWR (Power) - T ( stands for 0 100 is 1TT. Usually we use 00 instead of T except for long figures ) - ANT (antenna ) - DP (Dipole) - ES (and) - HPE (Hope)-CUAGN (See You Again) - GL ( God Luck GB-Good Bye GN-Good night ) JA2AUI DE 9M2XXX TNX KIYO - MY RIG IS YAESU FT7 ANT G5RV ABT 10 M PWR 50 WX TEMP 29 C - TKS FER QSO HPE CUAGAN QSL VIA BURO GL GB 73 V A A E E 10 M (10 METERS HIGH)- buro (bUREAU) - VAA is usually used to indicate end of the session with him. You don't have to use it. And most hams used E E to finalised the closing of the contact. In our local QSO we do not use the short forms all the time. We used the plain language to rag chew. At time we use short form like HRP for Harap. There is one new short that we invent BTU to mean back to you which is of course not a must to use. You can also monitor to international rag chew, mostly in plain language too but they are fast. There are DX stations that call a 5wpm CW. You can contact these stations. Most of new hams can send fast but cannot copy the same speed as they can send. You are advised to send at the speed which you can copy. When you come on CW you don't entertain those who might say bad things about you. You don't bow to XXXX people. Enjoy the fun, the real fun of ham radio.
