As seasoned hams we often forget what is routine to us could be keeping a newly licensed ham from getting on the air. Great job covering this!

I tried to join a net in Dorset UK today. People spoke so fast with no phonetics. It wasn't very pleasant. Of course I am new ... but why do oldies act as if they don't have to be polite? It is just plain sloppy..

This is the kind of videos that we need, for some reason most Ham Radio KZbinrs forget about all the new Ham Radio out there that really appreciate this kind of information. Thank you Ham Radio DX for the job well done!

Hayden, great stuff. Very helpful especially the part of 'annunciating' so that people can easily understand the call. BTW, is that a teleprompter setup there behind your desk? Nice!

@@HamRadioDX Maybe a follow up video should be: "When to Call CQ. " How to know which bands to use during the day, during the night, and what indicators are around for 'beginners' to use to see if calling 'CQ' will get you any contacts at all.

I have my radio running all day better if stations do a long call CQ call I'm more likely to hear it. I'm in VK6 i consider anything east of the WA border DX as for the most part it rolls in as skip in the arvo and dead at night on 10m and just sayan, if I'm on 40m I just do CQ CQ as I'm only going to get vk6 during the day

Licensed for almost a year, I am still scared/shy to call CQ. I'll do it when I POTA or SOTA it's just from my home QTH. I don't know why.

The most important rule to calling CQ is to not be timid..jump in and give us a shout..hams (most) want to talk.

Copy, is misused in Amateur and CB. Using copy is asking the other station to actually copy the message to a medium to re read.🤔

A big mistake that beginners make is to call CQ DX. Possibly because on 27 MHz CB DX means anything that's 'skip', ie not within say 100km. I've heard VK6s on 10m call CQ DX incessantly with no reply. When their signal was a good strength over east and they would have got replies if they left off the DX bit. Never call CQ DX unless you really mean it, you're a snob or like the Tony Hancock skit, you neither have nor desire friends in your own country.

Perhaps to let anyone who is monitoring multiple radios know which one is active.
