It's MAGIC. I turn it on and listen for anyone talking. If no one is talking I call CQ CQ and wait for the first response. If several people are talking (and I seem to hear them all), then I just crank it UP!bobman2

Truthfully. It is a good feeling calling CQ DX and even better one when a station in a previously unworked country comes back.
