Fw: [A1CLUB] CW Greetings

Carole Woods
 

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but my guess is that most hams in Japan will expect the usual terms and abbreviations in a QSO - TU, 73, 5NN etc. I try to compose a little thank you note in my?下手 (poor) Japanese when I send a QSL card but on the air I stick to the usual cw terms.

I really want to know if I'm wrong, though.

Have you finished the list? This weekend is the JIDX contest which I plan to participate in, and I would like to greet, say thanks and goodbye to the Japanese ops in a proper way :-)

Dear Carole,
my observation operating JJ1QPB: is yes, Japanese use (almost) all international abbreviations if they operate using International Morse.
There is Japanese Morse code (Wabun:?.)?

This might be used for real Japanese exchange, but I can't read Wabun :-). Most traffic I observed was international morse to my luck.?

There are some special case like QTH is given as JCC code number. I suspect as real Japanese Names in Alphabe are just too long. Names are given in alphabet very frequent in a short CW-form.
?
I personally use greetings like ARIGATOU etc. when operating DX from DJ1TF calling Japanese stations or when Japanese operator recognize my long German name THOMAS (not when using only TOM) OR I asked to send QSL Card with JJ1QPB to the German Office Via DJ1TF HI HI. So when I get recognized as gaijin (foreigner) I tend to use more greetings.

BEST 73 DE DJ1TF / JJ1QPB - Thomas (TOM)
PS: I only run wire antenna typical QRP (30W for DX). To exercise listen to Japanese morse I use Kiwi-SDR's OR if time zone does not fit, I listen to recordings of Japanese morse operators on Youtube.?

Hi Guys & Gals

Enjoyed interesting discussions (^^

As Carol-san mentioned, most JA hams surprise when DX station send Japanese in ROMAJI (alphabet) since they(we) are not familiar with decoding Japanese expressed by ROMAJI.

And as Thomas-san said, there is Jpanaese Morse Code (WABUN). Most JA hams learn and use WABUN Morse Code when they want to converse in Japanaese language. ?

I learnt WABUN code when I was 17 (45 years ago) to get 1st class ham license.

(Both International Morsecode and Wabun Morse Code proficiency were requested at that days)

As Izumi-san, OHA is nice way to shorten OHAYOU which everyone can understand, but sometimes rude for eldery person.

In this case, OHAYOU GOZAIMASU is better ? It becomes too long and too complicated hihi.

CU ON? THE BANDS!

Hi Carole

Of course Japanese hams will understand these, but what I meant is little things like I use with e.g. French ops like "BJR" instead of "GD" or "AWDH" instead of "CU" with German ops.

I see in the other comments "OHA", but since ohayou is good morning, it can't be used as a general "hello". "yo" is an informal way to say hello, but as Atsu-san says, this might be considered rude by older ops who are accostumed? to formal greetings with strangers.

So I guess there is no real way to do this in non-Wabun given that there are no shortcuts and the formal/informal complexities of a greeting.
