Press "Start" to start, or the "enter" key if your cursor is in the answer field. Only enter the most relevant info. Don't write "43 years old", only "43". Only enter the information once, even when it's given twice. The most complex answers are in the "rig" category: there you have to enter it as it is sent "tentec century 21", for example. For the "contest" category, don't enter cut numbers; enter them as you would log them in a real contest log: a serial number received as "T4N" should be loged as "".
Press "enter" to validate your answer. You will hear a "C" if your answer is correct, and a "? Your answer will be logged in red if it was wrong, in green if it was good.
The whole exchange will also be logged, in the "Past QSOs" column. You can ask for a repeat or many repeats , but then your score won't increase if you answer correctly.
For some contests you can enter your grid square and the program will give you QSOs at realistic -ish distances. Check the "local only" if you want to train the grids around you and avoid DX. The VHF contest has a shorter range than the other ones. It has mainly been tested with Firefox, but should work with many other browsers Internet Explorer doesn't respect standards, so I wouldn't be surprised there's no way to make it work for a while.
Just follow along, there's nothing to type and so the input field is disabled. You can now choose the key and keying expertise level of the simulation. It may be used by both stations for their final transmission in place of AR which means as I said 'end of transmission' or end of this transmission, but I have more coming. Then there is the traditional 'cute' ending. Two dits, "shave and a haircut" "two bits", the rooster crowing, etc.
I prefer the simple two dits answered by a single dit. This is nothing official or mandatory, just something carried over from the early days of land line telegraphy. If in the course of your QSO, someone else happens to come on frequency while you are transmitting and you can hear them because you are using break-in or QSK, here is a little trick.
It's possible the interfering station can't hear you, but may be able to hear the station you are working. So turn it over to the other station as quickly as you can. Perhaps the interfering station will hear him and move on. This works especially well if you are working a higher power station. If that describes you, please let us know if this can be made any clearer at any points. I naturally perceived the RRR as a handoff of I recieved you What should you send back instead?
Since there is no procedure signal that covers less than perfect copy, just use plain english to say you didn't copy perfectly. For example: "OK, I copied most but missed your Or "sri, but I missed all due to heavy QRM", etc. Don't use an R in those cases. The comma between the city and state is a good idea as is sending "RST" and here is why I think that. When copying sometimes you get in a rut and need to reset. The comma is a natural reset. You know at least the state is following that and the op may repeat the prior information.
New ops need a reset point otherwise frustration rises. I've missed quite a few city names If no RST I was in a QSO today where a comma was not sent between state and city and I got horribly lost.
After QRZ. If you want to become a good bike rider someday you are going to have to learn to do without those training wheels. If you don't discard them, you are going to fall hopelessly behind your contemporaries and will never be able to keep up with them. Then you need to make sure that you are using the correct antenna and that it is matched properly, either by using an ATU or by feeding it directly.
If feeding it directly, make sure that it presents a low SWR to your radio — that is, that you installed it correctly and it is working fine. A CQ is simply a general call to no one in particular.
It is the traditional way of seeking random contacts. This may not be easy, particularly in crowded band conditions on HF. Always listen before transmitting.
