Topic G2C Quick Review Audio

G2C01:

Which of the following describes full break-in telegraphy (QSK)?

  1. Breaking stations send the Morse code prosign "BK"
  2. Automatic keyers, instead of hand keys, are used to send Morse code
  3. An operator must activate a manual send/receive switch before and after every transmission
  4. Transmitting stations can receive between code characters and elements

G2C02:

What should you do if a CW station sends "QRS?"

  1. Send slower
  2. Change frequency
  3. Increase your power
  4. Repeat everything twice

G2C03:

What does it mean when a CW operator sends "KN" at the end of a transmission?

  1. Listening for novice stations
  2. Operating full break-in
  3. Listening only for a specific station or stations
  4. Closing station now

G2C04:

What does the Q signal "QRL?" mean?

  1. Will you keep the frequency clear?
  2. Are you operating full break-in? or "Can you operate full break-in?"
  3. Are you listening only for a specific station?
  4. Are you busy? or "Is this frequency in use?"

G2C05:

What is the best speed to use when answering a CQ in Morse code?

  1. The fastest speed at which you are comfortable copying, but no slower than the CQ
  2. The fastest speed at which you are comfortable copying, but no faster than the CQ
  3. At the standard calling speed of 10 wpm
  4. At the standard calling speed of 5 wpm

G2C06:

What does the term "zero beat" mean in CW operation?

  1. Matching the speed of the transmitting station
  2. Operating split to avoid interference on frequency
  3. Sending without error
  4. Matching the transmit frequency to the frequency of a received signal

G2C07:

When sending CW, what does a "C" mean when added to the RST report?

  1. Chirpy or unstable signal
  2. Report was read from an S meter rather than estimated
  3. 100 percent copy
  4. Key clicks

  3. I acknowledge receipt
  4. We have worked before

G2C10:

What does the Q signal "QRN" mean?

  1. Send more slowly
  2. Stop sending
  3. Zero beat my signal
  4. I am troubled by static

G2C11:

What does the Q signal "QRV" mean?

  1. You are sending too fast
  2. There is interference on the frequency
  3. I am quitting for the day
