QRS CW QSO - Remember to slow down!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 лют 2022
- Always remember to slow down your sending, when asked by the other operator (QRS). Even if asked twice to slow down even more. If we are patient and carry on through the QSO, we give each other the opportunity to learn. Remember that we've been slower before and through the courtesy of faster ops, we were able to grow. Thanks Alberto DK3AR for the contact. Your magloop works very well here. 73 de Adam SQ5VCO

Always remember the other way of slowing down: more space between characters and words. For those of us who learned by the Farnsworth method, this is more useful than lower character speeds.
Yes, I do that often. It helps slower ops to get used to faster code, but with a bit of slack on the spacing, instead of slowing down. That's what makes the QSO a learning experience of another variety. I also do that sometimes for non-standard words and names.

In my case it was more of ZBM2 (Put a competent operator on this circuit) 😂😂
YES! this! slower characters make my brain melt, but more space between characters and words make it clearer, hands down!
Yes, please. For new CW OPs (like me), QRS always helps. I can totally relate to DK3AR. It can get nerve-racking trying to decode someone who's going too fast. You want to try to capture everything that's being said, but it can be difficult. So, thanks to everyone who responds to QRS requests to slow down (like Adam did here). DE K7RLN
QRS PSE has become my most fluent phrase! Learning to use it has helped with my anxiety!!
i dont get why it is not automatic for faster guys to slow down to the speed of the other person. if i send at 20WPM you dont continue to send @30WPM.
@@Francois_DupontNot everyone knows you're transmitting what you can understand right away because not everyone is familliar with who you are and where your progress is.
Nothing more irritating than when I'm sending CQ at like 20 and some speed demon replies at 50. Brother I'm not that fast, if I was I'd have been sending my CQ faster.
I think we all can send faster than we can copy CW, especially when using a keyer. I found out early on that you never send faster than you want to have sent back to you! I’m getting back into ham radio after 20 years away. I’ve been listening to lots of QSOs to build up my confidence to jump back on the bands…. CW exclusively.
Actually when I was around 25-28wpm I could copy faster than I could send nicely, but now I'm about even at 30-32wpm. I don't feel the need to go faster, as there are not many ops to work with anyway much above 25wpm. Recently in CQWW CW I was at 32wpm and it was super easy to copy callsigns, if you work 30wpm every day in ragchews.
Thanks for that! It's the right thing, it's ethical and polite. You're a great operator Adam!
Thank you! :-)
Great Video Adam, and kudos for taking the time to show that QRS, is a God send to any op new or old. I've been doing CW since 1961, and have gone full circle. never been a devout cw op but love it just the same. and got my speed up to 30+ wpm and now on the way back down I'm comfortable near 20 wpm but still have days the old brain just doesn't work and I've swallowed my pride and asked the op to QRS. and 99% of them do. thanks to good ops I can still enjoy a qso. even if you don't slow the keyer down. but just space out the characters can help if your speed is moderate (25-35wpm) can still be copied if there is a good spacing to give the op time to grab it. thanks for sharing and 73 gud dx de Ellis WA1RKS
That was fantastic!!! Thanks for recording that QSO!
Thank you for the subtitles!
Thanks for that. 73 de ZS5DG.
Thank you so much🍀🍭👋
Awesome job! Thanks for the video! 73
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing.
Nice Job! 👍 TNX! 🙋♂
This is really cool!
A CW rock star.
Haha :-)
Awesome job. Thank you for your patience with the other op. 73 de KG6ECW
Thanks!
Nice job slowing down for the other op. This is why I love my cootie - no need to look through menus to change speeds 🙂
I need to get a straight key finally. Then I'll be like 13wpm and sloppy ;-)
This is so cool... thanks so much for this video, seeing someone struggle like I would (still better level than mine) is giving me a bit of motivation to try my first QSO, I'm so scared I won't be able to understand, I can code alright I think, probably not clean but still, after listening to a bit my brain decides to just give up! lol I need training I guess lol anyway thanks for the video! much appreciated
Hi Adam fantastic video thanks very much 73 from kb2uew
TNX! 73
My fav. is CW 100 / 100 .. good job !
TNX 73!
Ditto re character spacing… we up and coming, frustrated potential speedsters, have been told to start out with high character creeds. I can’t copy code faster than 13 wpm but I need the character speed at 20 or greater because I CAN’T “count dits and dahs, at any speed. 73 de W3GX / QRS
I'm a new ham, I can send at 25+ wpm fine, but it still takes time to process incoming, i find it much easier if people just leave more of a gap between letters, so my mind can catch up and not get lost, even hearing 25wpm, takes no longer to figure out the letter than 12wpm, it's just the gap between is important.
All in all, I think it's better keying slower and the message is fully understood. Too much operators want go so fast that they do with a lot of mistakes.
Always set a character speed of 20-25 and a Farnsworth speed of 15 and back off as needed. You can speed up as you get better, but save the higher speed for someone you know is learning with you and is at the same pace. Not a requirement, but a damn good suggestion.
No i tak powinno być. Operatorzy CW zwykle przejawiają wyższą kulturę i cierpliwość choć czasem zdarzy się ktoś narwany.
73 Tomku!
Great fist and operator etiquette! All too often I see CW QSO videos with operators recording their horribly spaced keying for the world to see, as if it something to be proud of 🤦🏻♂️. Usually those ops are operating at higher speeds and somewhere along the way correct spacing went out the window. Better to slow down and clean up the slop before proceeding to higher speeds, IMHO.
73, Mike
Thank you for the kind words :-)
Thank you for your video. Longer pauses help me more than slower tempos with plain text. With practice software I manage about 34 WPM, but it's no use to me with plain text, hi 73 de Bruno
Exactly, I use the spacing when I'm too lazy to dive into the menu of FT891 to go QRS, haha ;-)
Hi! Adam de HL1SB from Korea,, Please let me know how did you make a synchronized subtitle to your keying. I'm really curious about it!
Hello. They are input by hand in the video editor and the subtitle effect is set to "Typewriter" effect mode. I use Filmora X for my editing. I will make a video about this one day hopefully.
Who makes the cw paddle?
It's really difficult to cache a couple of letters in mind.
With time you won't think about it. I'm licensed for 2 years only. It only takes everyday practice, even if it's a solid 5 minutes.
What does R or RR Or EE or UU (somethin like that) mean?
QRZ with no question mark after it means . "You are being called by...........". with the question mark it means, "who is calling me"??, - you should be using it otherwise you might get called a lid.
Yes, you are right. I am aware of that fact and usually use it properly, here must have become distracted
Класс! Просто CW QSO, что может быть лучше?)))) Какой длинны у Вас антенна Endfed?
Even with the transcription on the screen, I have no idea what they are saying.
I’m a bug user but have a straight key hooked parallel. I know I can use the dah side of the bug as a straight key but I have lots of good straight keys to use so why not? If I need to QRS I’m more than happy to do so.

Cool!
Hej, mam pytanie. Jak najlepiej zaczac uczyc sie nadawac po ogarnięciu odbierania znakow po melodii? Czy od razu wejsc w manipulator dwudzwigniowy czy zaczac od klucza sztorcowego?
Wedlug mnie to sa oddzielne drogi. Jakbys chcial grac na gitarze albo na skrzypcach. To nie jest tak, ze nauczysz sie na sztorcu, a potem „wejdziesz na nastepny poziom dwudzwigniowego”. Ja bym Ci radzil zaczac od dwudzwigniowego, zeby zaczac jak najszybciej robic QSO, to znacznie zmotywuje Cie do szlifowania znajomosci CW. Sztorca mozna dorzucic jako ciekawostke pozniej, jak ustabilizujesz 20 WPM co najmniej w odbiorze i nadawaniu.
@@AdamSQ5VCO O super, dzięki za cenne info 👍 Pomimo pewnych podobienstw domyślam się, że sztorcowy a man2dzwign to dwie oddzielne drogi. Tak samo jak wprawny CW operator na słuch pewnie by nic lub niewiele odebrał z błysków kodu morsea światłem. Taka dygresja. A wracając do manipulatora. Polecasz kupić gotowca, czy można zacząć na samodzielnym dobrze zrobionym? Dodam, że od lat hobbystycznie zajmuje się elektroniką, a także wieloma różnymi sprawami technicznymi. Solidna konstrukcja, styki z przekaznika, regulacje skoków na połączeniach gwintowych itd to nie problem, natomiast może są w kluczach jakies patenty typu wymiar, długość ramienia łopatek do ręki itd i na 99% lepiej użyć sprawdzonego gotowca? No i jak lepiej ustawić kropkę i kreskę? Czy od lewej kropka, prawa kreska, czy odwrotnie, a może to nie ma znaczenia, bo jak się uczymy to i tak nabywany to z czasem lub zależy od indywidualnych preferencji? I ostatnie pytanie jesli mogę - czy da się podłączyć manipulator przez jack3,5mm do kompa i jakimś programem ćwiczyć formowanie liter oraz słów kluczem? Pozdrawiam, 73
Your QRS is still quite fast ...
I agree....it seemed like only a slight reduction. But I'm still new to re-learning CW after 44 years without practice.....
I reduced to somewhere near the speed of the station, if it was to fast still, he would have asked again for QRS. Going from 50wpm to 40wpm is still QRS, which means as you well know "reduce your speed" not "send slow".
gosto muito dos vídeos um incentivo pra mim fazer cw PT7BT FT73
CW is the best! :-)
Thanks for the video! Can you tell me what your QSO loggers are on your computer that you showed around 8:55?

Still a bit quick for me!
All in good time. Keep up practicing :-)
QRZ? = Who is calling me?
QRZ = you are being called by...............
Many send faster than they can copy hihi
PWR = Power, a co to jest 1 TTW? 1Wat? Czy coś innego? Moze skoro zera są dlugie ----- to 1TT oznacza 100?
Tak, poczytaj o Cut Numbers: T = 0 N = 9 A = A, these are used mostly in contests, but sometimes in QSOs also. 1TT for 100W is what I hear 90% of the time
@@AdamSQ5VCO O elegancko! Poczytam! Mam pytanie, pewnie to jest tak, że już po czasie nie słyszysz samych liter, ale całe brzmienia słów, tzn skrótów. Jak na początku się załapie CQ i to potem inne kody Q itd i już po czasie tak samo się automatycznie z łapy nadaje tak i słucha holistycznie, tak jest?
@@movecizetodobryfilm tam jest kilka mechanizmow, zwykle slyszy sie zbitki liter, krotsze slowa, czasem jest tak, ze trzeba nadganiac i sie domyslac co bylo, czasem sie wydaje, ze kilka slow przelecialo bez zrozumienia i nagle klik, tresc jest, a czasem ma sie wrazenie, ze mozg pracuje tak szybko ze nadaza literowac (to rozkladanie slow na litery to zaczyna byc problem przy szybkim nadawaniu). Musze film o tym zrobic
@@AdamSQ5VCO OK 👍A dostrzegłeś może, że po nauce CW w życiu coś się zmieniło? Mam na myśli pracę umysłu, że inne rzeczy lepiej Ci przychodzą, koncentracja, werbalna sfera itd?
CW nauczylo mnie, ze bedac systematyczym, zanurzajac sie w temacie (przez np. ogladanie filmikow) i cwiczac codziennie, chocby 10 minut efekty przychodza same. Teraz sie ucze grac na piano i dokladnie czuje ten sam mechanizm, jednego dnia nie umiem, potem nagle cyk i jest skok do przodu.
bro did not slow down at all hes like 10 wpm and ur still at 25
Jeez this is slowing down ?
Slowed down as much as needed to be understood. Apparently, it worked.
@@AdamSQ5VCO Indeed. More a reflection on my limited copy speed vs your skill. Great video and thanks. 73 de W6DAC

Chciałbym być tak biegłym, ale dopiero zaczynam przygodę. Może się nauczę jak już dostanę upragnione pozwolenie. 73
I don't see the point in high speed cw on amateur bands. It's not as if hams have to clear a backlog of traffic. The old maxim was, "send at the speed of the receiving operator". Nobody is fooling anyone here. Most of that fast cw comes from automatic keyers. Anyone can use those.
Fast and slow are subjective. If everyone stuck to 10 WPM (which faster ops can slow down to, if needed), having a real conversation like on SSB would be super hard, mind you that normal speech is 100-200 WPM, so even fast CW 30 WPM is quite slow in transferring information. I would be quite frustrating telling someone about your new antenna or radio, when it lasts 15 minutes instead of 5.
