What is the correct way to call "CQ" when using Morse code?
-
Send the letters "CQ" ten times, followed by the word "DE," followed by your call sign once
-
Send the letters "CQ" three times, followed by the word "DE," followed by your call sign once
-
Send the letters "CQ" until someone answers
-
Correct AnswerSend the letters "CQ" three times, followed by the word "DE," followed by your call sign three times
"CQ" is a general call to any station. "DE" ( French for 'from' ) is the Morse abbreviation for "this is". Other abbreviations include "K" (go ahead or over), "R" (all received), "DX" (distant station) and "73" (best regards). [ "KN" is 'go station' ]

How should you answer a routine Morse code "CQ" call?
-
Correct AnswerSend the other station's call sign twice, followed by the word "DE," followed by your call sign twice
-
Send your call sign four times
-
Send the other station's call sign once, followed by the word "DE," followed by your call sign four times
-
Send your call sign followed by your name, station location and a signal report

At what speed should a Morse code "CQ" call be transmitted?
-
At the customary speed for the band
-
At the highest speed your keyer will operate
-
At the highest speed at which you can control the keyer
-
Correct AnswerAt any speed which you can reliably receive
Any station which answers your call is likely to transmit at a speed similar to yours. Operators frequently find it easier to transmit at higher speed than they can reliably copy.

Which of the following describes full break-in CW (QSK)?
-
An operator must activate a manual send/receive switch before and after every transmission
-
Correct AnswerIncoming signals are received between transmitted dots and dashes
-
Stations wishing to break in must send the Morse code signal "BK"
-
Automatic keyers are used instead of hand keys
When a station operates "full break-in", the receiver becomes active IN BETWEEN the transmitted dots and dashes. It permits the other station to interrupt (break-in), for example, when it failed to copy a word.

When selecting a CW transmitting frequency, what minimum frequency separation from a contact in progress should you allow to minimize interference?
-
3 kHz to 6 kHz
-
5 Hz to 50 Hz
-
Correct Answer150 Hz to 500 Hz
-
1 kHz to 3 kHz
In order of bandwidth requirements: CW = about 100 Hz, RTTY = about 600 Hz, AM = 6 kHz, SSB = 2 to 3 kHz, FM = 10 to 20 kHz. Minimum frequency separation: CW = 150 to 500 Hz, RTTY = 250 to 500 Hz, SSB = 3 kHz to 5 kHz.
