If there's already\ntraffic there, I go elsewhere in the band so that I don't interfere\nwith the QSO.\n\nI then make a test transmission to fine-tune the downlink with my\nsoftware.  I identify myself and why I'm on the air so that anyone\nlistening will know that I'm not ready for a contact.  Since I have to\nset up my station outside and I'm holding my Arrow yagi, it's easier\nfor me to do that by voice rather than transmitting CW.\n\nI adjust the downlink because I figure it's more important that other\nstations hear my signal and avoid it while I'm tuning.  Usually,\nthough, it takes me about a minute to find my signal.  After it's all\nset up, I can start calling CQ.\n\nI use Gpredict for controlling my radio.  It allows me to adjust both\nthe uplink and downlink, making it easy to fine-tune my signal or QSY\nto a different frequency.\n\n73s\n\nBernhard VA6BMJ @ DO33FL\n",
