Hi All,

Thanks for answering my question about minus temperatures, and for the advice about getting back into CW. I'm still brushing up my receiving skills, but hope to make a QSO soon. I'll definitely keep everything in mind, and look forward to chatting with you on the air.

Thanks again.

Yours Sincerely,

Hi,

I've started brushing up on my CW again using software like NuMorse Pro and Morse Runner, and am thinking about making a QSO one of these days. (It's technically not my first one as I tried doing it years ago, but it didn't go well due to mistakes on my part, and I lost confidence as a result.) Before going ahead with the QSO, though, I've got a couple questions:

1. Are there any frequencies that are good for making slow-speed QSOs?

2. Since it's still winter, I'm wondering how one would give a temperature like -10 degrees Celsius with CW when discussing the weather? In other words, is there a symbol for the minus sign, or would you send something like "minus 10C"?

Thanks for your help.

Yours Sincerely,
Kelly John Sapergia, VE5KJS
