Listen And Learn CW/ Morse Code From a Decoded Salty POTA Activation

Fully Decoded CW POTA (Parks On The Air) Activation of NO-1038 Kråkstadfjorden Nature Reserve. I brought my FT-891 for a activation on Slow QRS CW. Decoded cw for easy follow along and learn.

Awesome video. Thanks for adding the decoded CW also. That must have been a lot of work. Going to watch it a couple of times because it's great learning material. I love this style of video by the way, where you show parts of the park. The locations on the map of the hunters is very cool to see also.

Tnx, nice to know you enjoy it!

@@LB8IJ Question for you: what does 44 mean? For example, sent at 4:32. I've only found the meaning "answer promptly by wire".

[@LB8IJ]

@@wkjagt 44 is half of a 88. A hand shake. Used a lot in Flora Fauna and POTA

Thank you for posting. Definitely a good study for those of us learning cw!

[@LB8IJ]

Tnx, good luck on your cw!

Thanks for posting! I literally just ran downstairs to hunt you when I saw you on the spots for NO-2542, and I'm buzzing we got a QSO! Shame I'm only 42N, but I'll keep an eager eye on your next videos to see if I make it in!

[@LB8IJ]

Tnx for hunting. I’m sorry to say that there where no recording made today. Propagation may not have been the best to UK you where only UK station. Hope to get you in the log an other time. Will do som more recorded pota soon. Tnx 73

I wish I was good at CW. It gave me a real hard time when I was learning and upgrading my license back in the 20 wpm days. The technical side was a breeze. Some people are just the opposite being a whiz at CW but they can have a tough time with technical stuff. Everyone's brain works different.

[@LB8IJ]

Yes, its deffinitly a different way of learning rationale technical stuff vs programming your subconscious mind with cw.

Very nice practice for US stations listening for eu.

Tnx

Hello and thank you for your videos very interesting. what is the brand key do you use?73

[@LB8IJ]

I use a diy key from printables: www.printables.com/model/653813-iambic-cw-morse-code-paddle-by-km4cft also made a short of me building one.

[@robj1646]

I'd recommend you include your POTA QTH (e.g. 'NO 1038')? I would say minimum in your CQ... Maybe you did that later on, I just listened to the first 2 minutes. 73 de HA7RJA - Rob

Hi Øystein, what time is best for pota and sota here in Norway? I think im listening at the wrong time, often late at night. I dont have computers and stuff, and i dont use fancy apps, When i have used some of them, its almost Just times for other parts of the Word. 73 and thanks for the video. LA-M160560

I find most activity in europe around 10-14 utc. After there is more North America. Weekends may differ a bit. But this is just what I find normal. If you look at pota.app you may see witch stations Are active and on what Frequency.
