General Information

eQSO - Morsenet1  

Room is open 09:00 and 22:00 hrs Zulu

GENERAL INFORMATION 1 11.11.02,

1.     SENDING MORSE CODE AT A GIVEN "WORDS PER MINUTE" SPEED IS
       RELATIVE TO HOW MANY TIMES THE WORD "PARIS " IS TRANSMITTED ( i.e.
       sending the word PARIS TEN TIMES IN ONE MINUTE  is indicative of 10 words
       per minute ). PRACTICING / LISTENING  "PARIS" CAN THEN BE RELATED TO
       OTHER TX/RX  PRACTICE FOR THOSE WHO ARE CONSIDERING
       TESTS / EXAMINATION


N.B. 1  DASH =  3 DOTS. SPACING BETWEEN WORDS IS 7 DOTS

       

2.      WHEN ENTERING AN EXISTING  ROOM WOULD YOU PLEASE TYPE AFTER  
        YOUR NAME YOUR INTEREST IN THE ROOMS ACTIVITIES  i.e.
        BASICS ( to develop your basic knowledge and skills of  Morse code )

           INCREASE TO -----??---  WORDS PER MIN

           REFRESH TO  ??? WPM ( have not used cw for some time ??? )

           RAG CHEW  AT  ????  WPM

           ASSIST OTHERS ( i.e. with basics )

           OTHER MORSE RELATED INTEREST

           TYPING ON SCREEN THE ABOVE INFO. WILL MAKE THE ROOM
            MORE  " USER FRIENDLY " ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE ENTERING
            OUR  ROOM FOR THE FIRST TIME

3.      TO ENABLE US TO ENJOY THE ACTIVITIES OF OUR ROOM TO THE
        MAXIMUM MAY REQUIRE US TO CONSIDER HAVING SOME FORM OF
        UNIFORMITY RELATIVE TO GOING QSY TO  ANOTHER ROOM ,
        A SUGGESTION IS FOR THE FOLLOWING:::

                INTEREST                   Room

              * BASICS                   MORSEB1, MORSEB2, etc.

              * 5 WPM                     MORSE5A, MORSE5B, etc.

              * 10 WPM                  MORSE10A, MORSE10B, etc.

               * RAG CHEW (25WPM)          MORSERAG25,    etc.
                      

         ??? just a thought , but, if we avoid the terms LEARNING and TEACHING we should prevent misinterpretation by some as  to our activities for "DEVELOPING BASIC KNOWLEDGE and SKILLS          OF MORSE CODE", if we enhance the knowledge and skills already attained from sources other than room MORSENET1, and / or we can promote/increase  interest in  CW  generally then I consider we deserve better than possible undeserved criticism. ?????


4.     PLEASE CONSIDER THE BENEFITS TO THOSE DEVELOPING THE BASICS. IF THEY HEAR THE CORRECT PHONETIC ALPHABET THEY ARE MORE LIKELY TO USE IT  

5.      IF YOU WILL INDICATE WHEN  A REGULAR  Scheds)  WOULD SUIT YOU   (allowing for the unforeseen of  course) WE CAN ARRANGE THESE...   "BUT" .....  PLEASE OPEN THE Room " MORSENET1" ANY TIME YOU WISH.   TO ENABLE EVERYONE TO IDENTIFY OUR ROOM I  WOULD SUGGEST OPENING THE ROOM AS FOLLOWS :::::

          Room  =  MORSENET1 (note the space in front of 'morsenet1'

          Call sign =  YOUR OWN

          Comments =  PC to PC Morse   (SWL's can TX here)   NON AIRWAY TX / RX  IN
          THIS ROOM

          WAIT UNTIL THE SCREEN REFRESHES TO SHOW THE ROOM
