Morse code abbreviations

This is the commonly used Morse code abbreviations.. Abbreviations different from prosigns in that they observe normal interletter spacing, that is, they are not "run together" the way prosigns are.. but, abbreviations must "run together" which is sound must continue from first to the next word.. if the sound heard seperate, there is two (2) or more word actually.. thats mean people recieved in uncorrect word or others interpretation..so, be careful & practice always will make it perfect..

PTT or Mic

PTT, stand for Push-to-Talk or others people say Press-to-Transmit..it's happen in conversion half-duplex communications..including two-way radio & using a momentary button to switch from recieve mode to transmit mode (rx to tx)..in other cases, still got people say PTT rather than mic..the correct word is mic not PTT, it's cause PTT is a part of mic..if people say PTT, that mean only PTT have but not mic there..but the thing that you hold is mic not PTT..PTT only you push when you want talk..so, i really hope after this people will realise it..

QRP or high power levels??

QRP = Low power levels

What motivates the low-power (QRP) amateur operator? This question does not have a simple answer. A vast number of QRPers are "turned on" by the relative simplicity of most home-made QRP equipment. Simple gear is not only easy to construct and operate, but it is fairly inexpensive to build. This has a special appeal to those who lack technical backgrounds and have yet to develop their skills. Furthermore, many of published QRP circuits may be assembled on a PC (printed circuit) board that is available by mail from one or more PC-board vendors. The parts-placement guide for a given project is generally published in the related article. Guesswork is thus eliminated for the most part.
Other amateurs have the ability to design their own circuits. QRP equipment offers a short-term exercise in the workshop because many of the projects are simple. This enables an experimenter to try new circuits in an evening or within a couple of days. He can try new ideas and obtain fast results. He may continue to work with his new circuit until it is perfected at which time a final model can be built, housed in a cabinet and used in his station.
Other QRPers are captured by the nostalgia that takes them back to the early days of Amateur Radio, when hams, through necessity, used only a few watts of RF power for communicating. In other words, they had to do things the hard way. Each successful QSO was logged as an achievement! Pride accompanied home-made gear and the ability to be heard at great distances. So, go for low power levels, save money & energy as well. Think green!!
