CW practice / Rag Chew

开云体育

On 2/20/25 I had a CW practice / rag chew session on 40 meters. I worked three stations:?

Date / Time	Call	Bnd	Frequency	Mode	Power	Rec	Snt	Name	SPC#	Comments
2/20/2025 23:33	N8NHT	40	7.038	CW	40	579	449	Hayes	TN	K3 at 40 watts 100 ft sloped doublet
2/20/2025 23:13	W3APA	40	7.038	CW	40	599	579	Tony	PA	K3 at 40 watts 100 ft sloped doublet
2/20/2025 22:51	NG4S	40	7.038	CW	50	229	449	Tom	SC	K3 at 50 watts 100 ft slopping doublet

Conditions were noisy at the start but improved dramatically when it got dark. SSN = 119, SFI = 184, A = 7, K = 0.

I will be doing another CW on the air practice session?Monday 24?February. Anyone 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:
Time - 9:00 AM Eastern Time / 14:00 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.

Reply to this email if you have questions.
