Publicado 2023-08-31
Evan (K2EJT) and myself decided to do a scheduled (sked) contact and record both of our perspectives to upload for you to watch! Great practice for me and a fun start of the adventure of ragchewing for me.
Be sure to check out Evan’s video on his channel: @EvanK2EJT
And specifically, his side of this QSO: • NOT a field activation!?...........W4...

You copied that WAY better than you thought you were going to! Just shows that your actual CW skills surpass what your perceived skills are. Good job man, and thanks for the contact!

Nice to see also a Regchew CW QSO on Youtube, you are right, not very much of these online. But it still showed me how much i have to practice myself ;-) 73 and thanks for the video

My two favorite POTA channels, lol. The band was in good shape, add QSB & QRM & you have normal conditions, lol. In 1978 it was 16 weeks to get my ticket in the mail so I didn't actually receive it until 2,/1979. Ten Meters was HOT then so I spent hours and weeks and months listening to rag chews at 5 wpm so by the time my license ((KA9EDP) arrived in the mail I was pretty good at 5 wom rag chews. I did not contest until the Novice Roundup a year later and did not do Field Day until 2 years later, by then I had my General Ticket. You did great today, I was very happy that I could head copy 90% of what Even sent which would only have been 10% a year ago before I started listening to Thomas every day. Thanks for the code practice, I did send in my Lifetime Dues to the Long Island Club, I want to raise my 14 wpm plateau to 22 wpm in the next year, lol. Cheers, Davey - KU9L

Great video! For 11 months of being on the air, that was very good!

Thank you for the awesome video! It was fun to see something other than a POTA exchange (nothing wrong with pota, I really like it) and would love to see it again someday. I think you are brave doing this in front of all of us, viewers. It was a great qso! You are a true inspiration. Best 73 de SM2YUW. 😊🙏🏻

Well done Aaron. I commend your humble approach. Keep up the good work. Missed you today when you were on 17m. Erhh!!. Take care and POTA on. 73 and hope to QSO again soon. Jeff G4ELZ.

Great change in videos. I was wondering if you pota guys had a home shack. 😂 Evan seems funny. You guys are a great duo

Thanks Aaron! You did great! I am in LICW Intermediate 1 classes & this fits the bill perfectly! Now I don't have to feel guilty about watching YouTube instead of practicing! I have a pretty good case of key fright and have yet to put my fist on the air. I'm gonna have to take the plunge soon! 73, Patrick KF4LMZ

I've listened in on some two way and one way qsos just to listen and learn words. Great content cause it helps us all. 73

Nice video! Thanks for sharing. I’m just starting my cw journey. I was able to catch a letter here and there, so I’ve got a long way to go! Thanks for sharing and 74! ..

Good job. You are great CW culture bearers.
-
Fantastic! Love the idea and at a pace that wasn't blistering. I've been considering doing some sked buddy sessions with LICW, but haven't had/made the time to get that started yet. I'd really like to get better at random things thrown at me. Thank you for doing this guys...
-
Haha! Messing up your own call sign at the very end of the QSO? You’re stealing my moves!😂

Very cool vid! congrats on the first ragchew. 73!
