CW Practice / Rag Chew
开云体育On 4/29/25 I had a CW practice / rag chew session
on 17 meters. I worked four stations:
Conditions were OK with some QSB. SSN = 134, SFI =
154, A = 4, K = 1.
My next CW practice session will be May 06 at 0900 EDT / 13:00 UTC on 20 meters. Anyone and everyone is welcome. This practice is intended for operators who are new to CW or they need some practice. IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW POOR YOUR CW IS. Mistakes are OK. Poor fists are OK. Slow speed is OK. Really slow speed is OK. This practice is meant for you to improve your CW. I will do my best to adjust to your skill level. Operate at any power level. If several stations show up, I will operate as a round-table control station. I will do it as a round-table so everyone gets a chance to transmit. Please listen to my directions. Details: Date - May 06 2025
Time - 0900 EDT / 13:00 UTC Band - 20 meters How to find me - I will find a clear frequency and call CQ. Go to the Reverse Beacon Network and search for my call sign AB8DF. That will tell you what frequency I am on. Tune
your station to that frequency and if you hear me give
me a call. If there is a QSO in progress, please wait
for a break in the action. Then send your callsign. If I
hear you, I will invite you to join the QSO and start a
round-table QSO.

开云体育On May 06 I had a CW practice / rag chew session on
20 and 30 meters. I worked three stations:
Conditions were not great with lots of QSB. SSN =
108, SFI = 159, A = 29, K = 3. I was using my Elecraft K3 at
100 watts with my 100 foot sloped doublet. I started out on
20 meters but switched to 30 hoping for better conditions.
They were a little better but not much.
