the convention is...
If no one is around, of you do not know if anyone is around, you can call CQ - "CQ CQ, this is
or my favorite.... "anyone around? this is
What do you think? Answer below!
When calling a particular station, “, “. If no response, call once or twice more. You might also say “, , “. There’s no one proper way to use.
After making contact, ID with your callsign at least once every ten minutes of the QSO, typically less. You don’t have to say the other station’s call when IDing eventhough many do.
After calling a station with no response or after a QSO, say something like, “ clear”.
There are no FCC rules on how you say stuff, just that you ID every 10 minutes and when you end your QSO. It’s good to adopt standard operating practices for less confusion though.
I don’t know if this is convention (I haven’t operated in a few years), but IMHO it is bad form to call “CQ” over a repeater. What I would do is give my call sign and say “listening”
That way,if anybody wants to to communicate with you, they can.
