At the risk of being labeled a "lid" - is there a handy explanation of
how this QSK thing works, in practice, and how one uses it in daily life?
I am going through a Code Course and looking to add CW to the mix... and
I have this mental image of concentrating on sending code, and becoming
annoyed with someone trying to bust in and interrupt my flow, by keying
over me. I guess if I am calling CQ, it would help me know someone was
returning the call, but why does he not wait until I listen for him?
Now... I am sure that is a mistaken or ignorant outlook, but I do not
know WHY not ! (I have some ideas about all this, but I would rather
trade on fact than mere supposition... you KNOW what happens when you
assume something... eh?)
I don't mind reading up if there is a good explanation, but the ARRL
Operating Handbook left me cold, and so did my license training guides.
Anybody know a source of good info on good CW operating practice, in
general, and the best use of QSK, in particular ?
