CW QSO Protocol ⚡ Tutorial
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ส.ค. 2024
- Standard CW QSO Protocol
This is the most basic form of CW QSO and will become your foundation.
In this sample-QSO we exchange protocol 1 & 2 then formally end.
QSOs can go longer or shorter. But, a vast majority of my QSOs are similar to this one.
I made this tutorial following what I feel is most common. But, variations are fine.
The Standard QSO Protocol Reference Sheet can be found on the Long Island CW Club Website in the Academic Downloads tab at the top of the page.
For more information on CW QSO Protocol please consider:

Note: I am one of the few CW operators that accidentally learned to send on a paddle in reverse. I am right handed, but I send "Dits" with my forefinger and "Dahs" with my thumb. This is reverse from normal. Be aware in case you are just learning a paddle.

Thanks! great refresher after 26 years away. I'm having fun picking up my receive speed and shedding the rust.
Thanks very much for doing this at a speed and very clean clear characters to make it very easy to copy. I enjoyed listening. I even enjoyed looking at the skillful ways the keys were handled. Well Done.
Thank you very much. Hope to meet you on the air one day 👍
Thank you, as a new CW op your videos are great help for me! 73!
Thank you for that feedback. My goal is to help new operators. Thanks again 73.
Tnx Jim, this is a great video as it allows me to listen to the code and see it in print at the same time. I'll look for more of your videos.
Thank you Rusty 👍
Excellent, thanks for posting and the document is now hanging in the shack !!. 73's from VK3
That is great Darrin! That protocol document is the source material for a weekly QSO Protocol class I teach with the Long Island CW Club. longislandcwclub.org/ There is even more detail on the back of the sheet. Maybe I will see you in class one day! 👍
Jim- Thanks for teaching this to newbies like me
You are very welcome Larry. I am glad it was helpful!
Спасибо за Вашу работу! Учусь по Вашим видео.
Добро пожаловать. Я рад, что вам понравилось видео!
Very Helpfull !! Well presented and carried out! Thank You!
Thank you Carey. I am happy this video was helpful.
Thank you for posting this video! And, beautiful keys!!!!!!
My pleasure!
Well done sir, great example/tool! Run throughs are exactly what we need after learning the characters. Cheers!
Edit: just saw your note on learning 'backwards', didn't know that! Saw it in the video, but was wondering if I had learned in reverse. But that's because I have keys wired differently, since one was used when I got it; cause a bit of confusion on my end, haha. I put a switch in my 1980s keyer, so it accommodates both now. Interestingly, I can send code pretty comfortably with my left hand, throwing the switch so that the dits/dahs are on the same digits (mirrored). Wonder if others experience this too? It'll be good for me since I seem to have some carpal tunnel in the right wrist.
Thank you Ryan. I hope that this will help guide new operators on the air. Yes, modern keyers allow you to reverse the paddles. But, older rigs may require that you wire the key in reverse. Thank you for sharing your comments! :-)
Nice one, Jim! 👍🏻
Thanks Stan!
It's awesome! Tnx! 73 fom Brazil! (PY4IM)
TU Igor 🙂
Thank you, very easy to copy!
Great to hear that! Thank you 👍
Just what I was looking for. Thnx!
Glad I could help!
Thank you for making this.
My pleasure!
My understanding is the K at the end will invite anyone to answer. The correct method is KN which invites a specific operator to answer? I'm just asking.
Thank you very much, very helpful! A new encouraging
Sorry for the unfinished sending: this new video is very encouraging after many failures to move further in cw. Will play it each day several times. And I hope you make more similar lessons - very helpful!
I am very happy this is helpful. I plan to make more videos like this to cover different parts of a QSO and different types of QSOs :-)
Hello Jim, de N7KO Ken.
Why is there no spacing between the A and R (AR) at the end of some lines like there is spacing between letters in other words?
AR is a prosign that means end of message. Many of these prosigns are used in CW QSOs
73 de WA9SWw . .
Hi, I have no one to compare my Morse learning progress to but I could follow all that what was sent with the actual text being shown. Can you please advise me the next steps that I should concentrate on I really want to be able to have a QSO via CW and enjoy the friendships developed from meeting other Hams using g this mode. 73's for ZL1BMA.
The next step is to get on the air and start making QSOs. That is where the real learning begins. Each QSO will make you a little bit better. Also, take a look at the Long Island CW Club. A great CW community for continued improvement.
What brand and model is the key with the wooden paddles? Great video, very helpful as I am learning cw now
Oscaro, thank you for your comments. That paddle is made by W1SFR. You can find it here: w1sfr.com/torsion-bar-key-ii/
I am very happy that you are learning CW. We must have a QSO one day :-)
Good impression thx. But one question: why do you use AR and not BK?
I thought that AR is the end of a message and BK is a break of transmission.
But giving eg the Rapport, QTH and Name you usually have more to say (as shown here -> rig, ant, etc) but you BK and let the other station come.
(Just want to understand your intention, since I am new to CW)
Thank you for your question. BK is used in-place of the call sign exchange for quick QSOs. AR means end of message. When you hear AR you know the message content is done and anything that follows will be protocol to hand over the qso to the other party. Not to be confused with SK which signifies the end of the QSO or final transmission. Thank you for your great questions! 😀👍
Tx for making this protocol come to life! What speed is this?
Hello 02vLxcZF, thank you for your question. I believe one station is about 11 wpm. And the other is about 13. 73
thank you
Thank you for watching!
damn... I'm learning morse but I'm far away from being able to use it to make any kind of contact 😢
We all started where you are now. Keep practicing and it will pay off 👍
The first key is of which manufacture/model, and source, please , thank you! 73 de N4ANO
Hello, that is a Bunnell key restored by K3EY.
77 yr old ham now dipping toes into CW - SUBBED because of your excellent video. Just couldn't help it!
Please advise what brand/model is the first key?
Thank you! 73 de N4ANO
Bunnell Straight Key. 77 is a great age to learn CW. I have many students around that age at the Long Island CW Club. Check us out here: longislandcwclub.org/
73, Jim, W6JIM
Great video, those are the kind of videos I can use as a complete newbie on CW. Only few QSO made yet. 73 de ON4MGY Nic
Congratulations on your first QSOs!! I hope this video makes the protocol more clear and understandable. I hope to work you one day!
