'73's their call de your call SK.' -----------NOPE! For your LAST transmission of the QSO: 'stuff' 73 SK their call de your call [KN if your're waiting for an answer - dits if not, and you feel like a Lid - CL if you will not answer any calls after the present QSO] For your last transmission the SK is in place of the AR as used during the QSO - you know: 'stuff' AR [BK or their call de your call] [KN or K if you do not use BK] "Phil Kane" wrote in message ...

When I learned Morse in the Dark Ages, I learned that ending signal as VA - which is exactly the same thing. I always associate SK with "Silent Key" - an operator who has passed away. My ending macro says "K2ASP Clear" - remnants of my Public Safety radio dispatch days. -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon e-mail: k2asp [at] arrl [dot] net |

Do you get on PSK much? Some times of the day there are nice paths from Oregon to PA on 20 meters. On a regular basis I check into the Oregon Digital Emergency Net - Fri. 8pm local - on 80 meters. Now and then I work PSK on 40 meters to pile up states. Aside from that, I haven't had much occasion to work HF lately but I'm fully ready to go 160 - 10 meters. My spare time has been pretty spare lately. -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon e-mail: k2asp [at] arrl [dot] net |

We've pared down the prosigns quite a bit for PSK mode. I think it is mostly a legacy thing, as plain english works okay too. I don't think I've ever seen prosigns such as BK or KN used for PSK. Pretty much SK, K CQ (well that really isn't a prosign of course) - and the good old 73 and 88. Some use 73's and 88's. Technically wrong, but I don't want to lecture a person who is wishing me well. - 73 de Mike N3LI - |
