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.
