  • Prepare food arrangements in advance.

Game Explanation and Rules:

  • The game is designed to help participants learn the phonetic alphabet by engaging in real QSOs (contacts over the radio).

How the Game Works:

  1. Team Setup:

    • Experienced operators are seated next to inexperienced operators.
    • The inexperienced operator starts by logging QSOs (radio contacts), while the experienced operator handles the radio operations.

  2. Switching Roles:

    • Once the inexperienced operator feels confident, they switch places with the experienced operator and begin making QSOs themselves.

  3. Independence:

    • After some practice, the inexperienced operators will be left to handle QSOs on their own, allowing them to build confidence in using the phonetic alphabet during radio communication.

  4. Goal:

    • The main objective is to help inexperienced operators become comfortable with radio communication, especially in using the phonetic alphabet.
