VE7FO"S Newbies Mangle the Preamble
Well, that was fun. We had six newbie HF ops turn out for this one. All but
one were there for 3-5 hours.
This event was part of a formal operator training program being run by VE7IO
and myself. We hope to do at least one contest a month for the next few
months.
There were two objectives for the trainees in this session.
1) Build on the work done previously to become quicker and more confident.
2) Spend a significant portion of the allocated time Running.
Were the objectives achieved?
1) I wasn't there for the whole session but, from what I saw, I would say this
one was. Once people mastered the rather difficult exchange they started to do
quite well at finding people we hadn't called yet and working them.
2) Well, the exchange did us in here. Only one person got the confidence level
up to the point where they tried Running as opposed to tuning around to find
someone to call. Next time.
Thanks very much to all the people we worked and for your patience.
VE7FO's Newbies Try To Be Big Men On Ten
Our next training event will be the ARRL 10m, both phone & CW. Hope to see
you.
73, Jim VE7FO
