Practice QSO - Exchange 2 - Info - 17wpm

The credit for this Practice QSO Protocol goes to Jim (W6JIM). It was developed in cooperation with other LICW (Long Island CW Club — https://longislandcwclub.org/ ) advisors and is used extensively in the LICW Demystify QSO classes taught by Jim and Rick (W8KO). This QSO protocol is broken down into the 1. Beginning (RST, QTH, Name), 2. Information (Rig, Antenna, WX), 3. More Information (Ham FER, Age, Occupation), and 4. Ending (pleasantries, 73). For each QSO segment, try to head-copy it. First, the segment is sent in Morse code. Then it is spoken. And finally, it is sent again in Morse code. If you missed it the first time when it was sent, the second time allows you an opportunity to learn it. In terms of practice, it is better to have more frequent and shorter practice sessions over one or two longer practice sessions per week. Ideally, practice sessions should be no more than 15 or 20 minutes long, with two to three sessions per day. This video is long enough that you can keep coming back to it and pick up where you left off. 73 de AD0WE!
