Getting started in POTA
First (very painful) CW QSO
If I could offer a little advice….
When sending CQ, you might want to send CQ like this:
CQ CQ CQ de VA3JEV VA3JEV VA3JEV
and repeat that two or three times. It’s best to repeat your call two or three times because any number of things can happen that would cause a station to miss the entire call if you only send it once.
One more thing….
Find a way to keep that key from sliding around. It’s hard to send good code if the key’s moving around on you.
