Not QSK

 

My Yaesu FT-891 has a T/R relay response time that I have set to a half second so it will not clatter when I'm sending. So I miss any responses to my calls that occur instantly and need to be repeated. In February I bought a Penntek TR-35 QRP transceiver (40 through 17) that is QSK which is the first one since my Heathkit HW-16 in 1969. My Drake TR-4C and Yaesu FT-301 transceivers were also T/R relay switched. So I envy all you guys who have QSK.

I emailed James Wades WB8SIW on this matter and James confirmed that ¡°HR¡± was used by commercial Morse ops to represent ¡°hand ready¡±. I first heard this interesting tidbit from SK Jeff WB8WKQ. I¡¯ve scoured the Internet for ?references but have yet to find one. However, I respect James¡¯ knowledge of all things Telegraph and Morse Code. I was just trying to introduce some history trivia to the net. Stand practice today is to send QRV for ¡°ready to copy¡±.?

I have not heard of this specific meaning previously either¡­.. I always thought answering to a call on the net was that it meant ¡®I am present and listening and I guess that is pretty much the same thing.¡¯ Of course there is always the ever-present response to a call during the net to simply send one Dah to indicate that you are paying attention. In my book, brevity tends to rule¡­¡­
