40m 7051.2kHz - Traffic Net at 0830UTC
1. This is a quick fire CW net at slow speed.
2. The Net Controller (NCS or NC) will call for checkins with "CQ CW NET de <NC_CALLSIGN> QNI"
3. Stations check in simply by sending "CALLSIGN QNI"
- - Just send once and don't expect acknowledgment.
5. NCS will call for anymore check-ins "CQ CW NET de <NC_CALLSIGN> QNI"
- - This is your opportunity if he missed you first time.
- When you are called respond with;
de <YOUR_CALLSIGN> QRU QNX? (If you are just checking and want to leave.)
- NCS will then excuse you with;
QNX <YOUR_CALL> de <NC_CALL> 73 (or something like that) - OR when called in respond with;
de <YOUR_CALL> QSO <OTHER_CALL> (If you want a QSO with another station <OTHER_CALL> )
- NCS will pair you with <OTHER_CALL> and get you to QSY.
Note: There is no chit-chat or long winded overs on the net frequency and the NCS controls who does what. This allows the net to flow quickly.
See "How to check in" here http://www.vkcw.net/nts
And don't forget try the CW BASH later at 0900UTC 40m 7050kHz
-Call in on 7050kHz and QSY for QSO
