The
OffSet Method Explained
Assuming W1AW is calling CQ on six meters 50.260MHz
during Random Hour
1. CQ U7 W1AW (Up 7KHz from calling frequency) W1AW
will listen on 50.267 MHz
and swap their Tx Frequency from 50.260 MHz to 50.267 MHz
after receiving a call.
2. CQ D7 W1AW (Down 7KHz from calling frequency) W1AW
will listen on 50.253 and
swap their Tx Frequency from 50.260 MHz to 50.253
MHz upon receiving a call)
3. CQ F W1AW (Up 6 KHz from calling frequency) W1AW will
listen on 50.266 and swap
their Tx Frequency from 50.260 MHz to 50.266 MHz
upon receiving a call)
4. CQ 267 W1AW (Listening on 50.277) W1AW will switch
from 50.260 MHz to 50.267MHz
after receiving a call.
Note: For
method #3 above, the letter indicates the number of kHz
higher than the CQ
frequency the calling station is listening.
CQC - Up 3 kHz
CQE - Up 5 kHz
CQZ - Up 26 kHz
CQAA - Up 27 kHz. Etc
Assuming W1AW is calling using the OffSet Method
during Random Hour on 144.140MHz
1. CQ U7 W1AW (Up 7KHz from calling frequency) W1AW will
listen on 144.147 MHz and
swap their Tx Frequency from 144.140 MHz to 144.147 MHz
after receiving a call.
2. CQ D10 W1AW (Down10KHz from calling frequency) W1AW
will listen on 144.130 and
swap their Tx Frequency from 144.140 MHz to 144.130
MHz upon receiving a call)
3. CQ F W1AW (Up 6 KHz from calling frequency) W1AW will
listen on 144.146 and swap
their TxFrequency from 144.140 MHz to 5144.146 MHz upon
receiving a call)
4. CQ 147 W1AW (Listening on 144.147MHz) W1AW will switch
from 144.140 MHz to
144.147 MHz after receiving a call.
