CW Practice / Rag Chew


 

I will be doing another CW on the air practice session Thursday 01/02/25 . 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 roundtable control station. I will do it as a roundtable so everyone gets a chance to transmit. Please listen to my directions.

Details:

Time - 10:00 AM Eastern Time / 15:00 UTC

Band - 40 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 roundtable QSO.

I don't know if can get from the West coast, but if I am to have a chance I need to get my Nano VNA figured out to get my QMX+ matched up with my QRPguys EFHW kit (LICW build) to at least the 20 and 40M bands working. 
Because this sounds like me at 12/7:   [IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW POOR YOUR CW IS. Mistakes..., Poor fists..., Slow speed..., Really slow speed... This practice is meant for you to improve your CW.]  Adding you to RBN and HamAlert App
At some point when I have the funding I will get a tuner so I can do all of the QMX bands.  Not wanting to buy a problem, I am thinking about saving for a good quality ATU-10 (perhaps by newdiytech).
