Hi All,

I want to do a bit of CW training/QSO's with a guy who I can only
access through a 2m or 70cm repeater.

What's the go with sending CW on a repeater? There's a 70cm one we
could use late at night that gets very rare use even in peak hour.

Is it ok to send CW through an FM repeater if it's not being used by
anyone? We don't want to damage the repeater or breach any establshed
protocol.

Thanks,

VK5DO
Dene

it will damage the repeater now if AU rules are close to USA then you
realy ought to get the primsiion of the repater owner for this since
it isis his/hers/their

CW through a class C repeater wont work too well.
Morse using an audio oscillator and FM would work.
As I read the regs as long as you ID it should be fine.

Talk to the repeater owner. Repeaters are licensed for various modes
voice, data, video etc.

If nothing else, sending CW via a voice repeater that probably many
people monitor will certainly piss everyone off.

If you are going to send Morse, use MCW (key an audio tone, in this case
into an FM carrier)). Repeater transmitters do not like being keyed on and
off and anyway the tail would destroy the keying!
