CW Practice / Rag Chew


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý


On 3/16/25 I had a CW practice / rag chew session. I worked three stations:

Date / TimeCallBndFrequencyModePowerRecSntNameSPC#Comments
3/16/2025 14:28NB4M3010.113CW50559449ChrisTNK3 at 50 watts 100 ft sloper doublet

3/16/2025 13:31VE4GH2014.052CW75559559GregCanadaK3 at 75 watts 100 ft sloper doublet

Conditions were OK. SSN = 185, SFI = 178, A = 18, K = 3.

I stared out on 20 meters but it got crowed just like yesterday. The VA QSO party stations were booming in. I moved to 30 meters. My next CW practice session will be?March 17 at 09:00 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 - March 17 2025
Time - 09:00 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.
