WARNING - COMPUTER GENERATED SUBTITLES
Nutella sandwich
welcome friends countrymen comrades so well first of all you know a lot of us
call CQ some of us don't interesting enough the first contact only ever had
on the 2 meter band I got my license through that day you know come home
CQ CQ Mike Mike three of us at the done bike three Mike Charlie x-ray calling CQ
and it's old boy answers and we had a chat and he actually told me he had
never ever called CQ in his life way but when I don't know something you know
gone the Internet this is what happened with this story
see well on the internet what why do we call CQ I mean what are we what does he
actually mean well apparently although it sounds like
CQ and it comes from the French because the International Telecommunications
Postal Service standardized language apparently is French and it comes from
the word set view it mm-hmm security security pay attention
CQ it got it got shortened it also slightly sounds like say key who's there
that's more like you are said there was
straight off the Wikipedia page by the way anyway I've had some rather
wonderful experiences calling CQ because if you actually call seek I mean we've
all but I remember being on 12 medium and 12 meters I went to FM I just won't
know did it work and I thought oh it's not on the band
plan cuz you're not allowed six kilohertz whatever it is he's a band
dead there was nothing going on a called CQ on FM and this Italian station came
back as amazed as only was and I think the and we've all done it
oh you've heard somebody calling CQ on it on a dead band and you've gone back
to them and the guy calling CQ is as amazed as you are the band is open if
you don't call CQ you'd never know would you
so I've done it on 10 meters 12 I mean you see thing is on 20 you can buy
yourself onto that band cart me you just buy the big linear 100-foot Tower and
you open the band up you know so I'm not so so keen to be honest calling calling
CQ on 20 but I'm very comfortable calling CQ on on 17 or 15 70s good band
you know call CQ there because you know or try it before dark or something or an
odd time that band will be dead and you know eight times out of 10 you get
nowhere but the other two times a friend of yours 20 miles up the road our
answers go what are you doing up here calling CQ and you wouldn't have spoken
to him and but then that one had 10 some miraculous little DX comes out the
woodwork and starts calling you I remember being on faulty meters it was a
little bit dead it must have been in that kind of time when all the Germans
were having tea or dinner or something and the Sun hadn't gone around about
enough so that the US was coming in yet you know in the dark and I'm calling CQ
in this very unusual station from Iceland came on and when we had finished
he ended up with a pile up which he didn't want he did he was answering me I
didn't at that time have Iceland on 40 meters is only about he told me there's
about seven operators in Reykjavik but if you don't call you see and nothing
happened so my encouragement is and I haven't got the title of this of this
video yeah I think I might call it and do you call
q because lots of us don't call we spin up a dead band oh there's nothing there
and you see them they people complain don't know you're on the Internet
oh yeah 15 was dead but he didn't call CQ though it's difficult one to call
isn't it and by the way if you want a bidder DX you can plan it I decide that
was away with the chaps for a long weekend so older chaps my age about 60
we had this beautiful cottage in the middle of Wales and the mountains they
want to go out walking high so were you out walking I'm gonna actually took the
the nine ninety cuz I got a flight case for this put it in the car bit of coax
DX commander set it up in the card and got on the radio really quiet there's no
electrical noise and I planned I got on the grey line calculator and I thought
right I'm gonna get a VK so you Australian boy sometimes people are a
spam for you let's go for the most extreme DX we can on forty I got a plan
for you and I knew when I had to start calling was let's say about twenty to
eight and I knew I had to call off twenty to six I can't remember what it
was but I set myself a one hour a one hour session calling c.q starting it
then and I thought about half an hour's time I should get I think it was sort of
Sydney Melbourne I can remember when and I did I did actually get a VK I could
look it up with my local common but it was about two and a half years ago maybe
three years ago and but don't get me wrong I got a lot of other stations but
periodically I would just ask you know and I wasn't running high high power or
anything I was just you know I know this is a 200 watt radio so I was willing 200
Watts big deal that was three DB more than 100 watt break okay but and I and I
just periodically would say listener just on the off-chance is there any DX
any scene if you do that people a little bit further with maybe
three thousand mile hop a little bit of you know almost DX they'll hear there
you go it's a guy trying hard you put you on the cluster now I know that I
hate the bloody cluster but it is a handy tool and then gradually that
leapfrogs around you get a going Indonesia there and he goes oh wonder if
I can hear him oh I can so and the one last tip I give you if if you haven't if
you're not a CQ caller honestly give it a go one of it one of the great tricks
because you don't know ten thousand miles away if there's someone on that
frequency so I always pick a really odd one so let's start off with seven one
fifty I would never you can't see my YouTube cushion I would never call cq7
150 I'll go just under maybe 760 if it's his voice now cw's not sabbaticals
seeing just saw a little twinkle but a lot of people in our game don't they
they like the idea of I mean maybe it's the OCD hereness
seven one six zero so what I do is I come down like a kilohertz and a half
seven one eight point five because the some guys with click-click-click v fos
you know the but my RC mm which is the remote head for him for a TS mm but I
must give you a little review of that upstairs in one of the spare bedrooms at
the moment and you can set it for either kilohertz click or a half kilohertz cake
because not everybody's got a spinner so seven one seven one five eight point
five I think it is my favorite just that kilohertz and a half down from a big
zero or up from a big zero you can't hear anything but the DX then if they've
got some qrm it'll still pick you out you see little tip but that's what CQ
means that's why we call CQ CQ m 0 m CX listening for any calls I
particularly called DX I just say any calls and see what happens
if I got told off one night because I didn't call DX only on the top end of 80
meters that's cos øz just generating a bit of bit of noise and the DX would
have come wouldn't them but whatever some people just get a bit paranoid in
this game that they um anyway just tip for the day have a lovely week enjoy
your radio chaps and as I said I'm going on a holiday and I've got some really
interesting video so I want to make that challenge is what we do and how we do it
and I'll be making that down in a couple of weeks time so remember to subscribe
and you'll get the notification when that will I do that and you can
contribute into the comments down here so do you call CQ I don't know maybe I'm
the odd one out have a nice day bye for now
