FLDigi Building Custom Macros for CW QSO’s for Beginners learning CW

This video shows how to build three custom macros that are specific to your application, these will allow you to engage in a QSO with another station with some protocol building blocks.
This will also be a tool to allow you in tandem with your CW key to also listen over and over and practice sending using your key.
In all these transmissions I’m going into a 50 Ohm dummy load to give a real-world interaction with the radio and FLDigi.
You tube would not allow me to copy the scripts with the angle signs if you want them email [e-mail] and I will send your the file

Thank you for the FLRIg and FLDigi setup videos. I learnt a lot by seeing and doing simultaneously. I am glad to own a FT 991A transceiver.

Great video! My AmRRON group uses Contestia for 40m and 20m digital nets. I made a quick MACRO just as you did to ‘check in’ to the net! Hadn’t thought to use it for CW macros! Thanks!!!

Very Cool! I rearranged my CW macro stuff this morning making it flow a little easier, now I have listen and practice sending, if I hear the code over and over it's easier for me to send it right after I hear it. I transmit inro a dummy load and leave the monitor feature on listen with headphones, keep it touch '73

From henceforth, you shall be the FLDIGI master. 😃

Hi Scott, thanks for the very kind message, I love making the video's and it helps me too, I'm really trying hard on the CW I want to learn as all the HAM's did in the past as a way of honoring their hard work and having to pass the code at the FCC my hats off to the gentlemen '73 and keep in touch

Hi Scott, I saw a message I can't get to it, what I had to do to clear the box is "left Click" clear the fields then left click on any box and populate it with commands and the title, let me know if you need anything else '73

@westtexasvideogateski5juf255 I deleted it. I figured it out. I ended up redoing my macros for CW, POTA, and some various Sprint macros I used. It's much cleaner and grouped in a way that makes a lot more sense.

Nice detailed tutorial Steve. I have made some macros for an emcomm net but was thinking about it for CW in the future. I have another program I use to send CW but FLDIGI is more familiar to me than MRP40. 73 de Mark K5MGK

Thanks for the message, keep in touch '73 sir,

[@thuff3207]

This is cool to get started so may I ask how you log the call

[@westtexasvideogateski5juf255]

Afternoon. I'm working on the logging, I can't figure out how to send the information back to QRZ, I can pull it into FLDigi from QRZ, just can't write it back to QRZ, maybe someone out in there knows. '73 thanks for the message!
