On-air procedures
Before you start:
It is good practice to work through a check-list before you get on-air. Even the most seasoned operators make mistakes.
  • Are all my power cables connected?
  • Is my feedline connected and have I selected the correct antenna for my band of  operation?
  • If I unplugged my feed-line due to storm activity yesterday, have I plugged it back in?
  • Are all radio controls set correctly? eg. Power level, Mic gain, Mode switch
  • Is my VSWR acceptable? Any tests prior to calling CQ should ideally be performed with a dummy load or on a clear frequency.
