Показать описание
Don't be a LID!! Don't tune your radio on or near the operating frequency of a CW operator!

How to, or more importantly, how to not tune up your radio on CW. Don't be a QRM'er! Listen to what it sounds like to a POTA activator when someone tunes up on or near their operating frequency.

The watts per mile on CW is a lot more than SSB. Even at 1 watt, 2 watts, 5 watts, if you tune up on or near the operating frequency of a CW activator, there is a VERY good chance you WILL cause QRM to the activator and/or their hunters.

Forgot to mention, on 60 meters you MUST tune up badly because FCC says CW must be on the center of the channel

Yes, please stop tuning up on me while I'm trying to work Jim. Actually I think I got tagged twice in this video, at 05:22 and again where you noted my call at 07:34. Thanks for the education Dan. --n1bs
