-fSame to you Oscar. 73 and Happy Thanksgiving. KG5PIO DE KK4EKN K

Ok so a few things so they make sense.... "CQ" means "calling anyone" "DE" means "This is" and then your callsign... The K at the end is typically used with morse code, means thats the end of the transmission and any station can respond....KN means only the station referenced should reply... What I did mess up on is at the end of our call I should have used "SK" for silent key....

Also some propigation maps that are real time...
