> What are some of the most common errors for > beginning CW Operators. WELCOME! In no particular order: 1) Not getting on the air. While it is a good idea to do some practice off-air and get some basic skills down, you don't need to be an "expert" to make lots of CW contacts and have lots of fun. 2) Sending too fast for the situation. 3) Expecting too much too soon. 4) Trying to use a rig that's not very good for CW (doesn't apply to Elecraft rigs!) 5) Not being familiar with abbreviations and procedures. Make a list of the common ones and have it handy. Listen to a few QSOs and get the general idea of how it's done. 6) Not asking questions or requesting help. (you've avoided this one!) 73 es GL de Jim, N2EY ************** Need a new ride? Check out the largest site for U.S. used car listings at AOL Autos.
