+ RADIOGRAM TIP - #4
(A critique of the November 21 practice session.)
The first in this series of training sessions was successfully conducted
Wednesday (11/21). Most of the RADIOGRAMS submitted were accurately
copied. A few operators, however, need a little more practice. As it
is in copying CW, it is never a good idea to anticipate ANYTHING.
In TEST MESSAGE NUMBER 1, the place of origin was: PLYMOUTH MA
and the addressee was:
CHRISTOPHER NICHOLS
PLYMOUTH PORT
SOUTHAMPTON ENGLAND
One operator had the RADIOGRAM going to: PLYMOUTH MA
and another had it addressed to PLYMOUTH SOUTHHAMPTON
(PORT and ENGLAND were missing)
LESSON: A complete and accurate address is essential.
One other fairly common error was to not count the three words:
TEST MESSAGE X in the “check”.
