  Notes

  Finding someone to talk to:
• select a frequency in the range ((insert range))
• Listen to see if anyone else is on the frequency
• Ask if the frequency is in use "This is AAAAA, is this frequency clear for me to call CQ?"

Q codes: all of em here

• QRM: interference from other stations ("I'm hearing QRM on your signal")
• QTH: location
• QSL: a conversation
• QSY: changing frequency or channel

The formal definition of 73 is “Best Regards” – it's a nice way to say goodbye that is unique to amateur radio.
