CW Practice / Rag Chew


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý


On 3/15/25 I had a CW practice / rag chew session on 20 meters. I worked four stations:

Conditions were OK. SSN = 147, SFI = 180, A = 24, K = 4.

I stared out on 20 meters but after an hour it got crowed. The VA QSO party stations were booming in. I moved to 17 meters. My next CW practice session will be March 16 at 09:00 EDT / 13:00 UTC on 20 meters. Hopefully the VA QSOP will be over by then. If not then look for me on 30 or 17 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.

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.
