Typical Settings for a Contest
This is an example of some typical settings for a contest. Each contest has different rules for ex-
changes etc. and you may have a different method of contesting. This is an example of one con-
tester's settings.
Memory #1: CQ TEST DE DC7XJ DC7XJ DC7XJ TEST
Memory #2: TEST DC7XJ DC7XJ
Memory #3: UR 5NN SN /N /D /S /N OH DE DC7XJ
Memory #4: R 73 TEST DC7XJ
Memory #1 is set for CQ at slow periods or at the end of a contest when most stations have al-
ready been worked.
Memory #2 is set for busy times when contacts are plentiful. Each of these memories are set with
simple to the point messages. A listener will immediately know who is calling and what they want.
The call is repeated after a short CQ TEST so that someone will not spend much time listening to
stations they have already worked.
Memory #3 is set with the contest exchange. It gives the serial number twice [using the serial
number decrement command] with a space in between and some other contest information. Re-
member all contests require different exchanges.
Memory #4 is set to close a QSO and announce that you are ready to for another contact.
Learning Code with the Random Code Generator
This is an example of a typical code practice session. Work first on the letters A-F. You can do all
our practice in Farnsworth mode so that you will learn the sound of each character at a high
speed.
Enter Command Mode and key in 'FA’. This enters Farnsworth mode.
Now fix the code generator to the 6 character sets by entering R6 in the command mode.
Enter ’01’ in the Command Mode to choose the A - F character set. The default settings are set to
fixed 5 character length and repeat session.
Now adjust the speed with the speed set feature. Remember you are in Farnsworth mode so you
can only adjust word spacing. All character speed is set to 18 words per minute.
Get ready to copy.
Press the Random Code Function key and take code for a couple minutes. When you get to a stop-
ping point squeeze the paddles together to end the session.
Restart the session again by pressing the Random Code Function key. The code session will start
again and you should be able to check your copy. The same code session will repeat until you turn
off the power, press the Menu button or toggle the R7 command in the Command Mode.
After you have practiced the A-F set you can move to the next set by entering 02-08 in the com-
mand mode.
