I will be doing another CW on the air practice session Saturday,?25 January?at 11:00 AM Eastern Time, 16:00 UTC on 17 meters. Why 17 meters? This weekend is Winter Field Day and I do not want to interfere with it. Also VOACAP says 17 meters is going to be open to most of the US.? 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:
Date - Saturday, January 25 2025
Time - 10:00 AM Eastern Time 16:00 UTC
Band - 17 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.
