Although I've attempted to QNI many times over the past several weeks, last night's net was the first time for a while that I succeeded. Johnny's signal would repeatedly fade from 559 to nothing, but we got it done. I'll also try an 80m QNI on future occasions.

The “N” stands for “net”. Do a Google search on “QNI amateur radio” and you’ll find the complete list.

I might add that they are to be used for formal
CW nets, traffic handling, EmCom nets, and the like. In my
opinion, they are not for casual use if you want to be understood.

Ed, et al, with due respect all nets are for training. Regarding CW nets - established Q signals should be used, otherwise no one will know what is being said during a session outside of the 'training net'. Not saying one should know every QN meaning but at least be familiar enough to find/read/understand/use them if participation becomes necessary in a 'formal net' session. HNY to ALL 73 de n4mj//glenn “PLEASE REMOVE all email addresses before you send it on and use BCC option when forwarding" Thank you!

Spreading about Q-code lists is helpful to a point, but in this case the question was "..what is QNI..? Nobody has identified that code to be used by the Net Control Station (NCS) only to call to order an organized net of only known listed stations. Those NCS use only Q codes are noted with an asterisk(*). As the 4SQRP Wednesday Night nets are open to everyone, the use of QNI by the NCS is not mandatory but has fallen into more common use it seems. HNY de K2MP (Agent 085) (p.s. My HF NCS Certificate is dated 1957, which only makes me vintage, not better!)

Hi Glenn,

To a degree I agree with you. I suppose my CW skills just aren't enough even when I could run at 22 wpm, which was many years ago, I am now more at home at about 12 wpm and sometimes pushing 15 when not stressed. hihi I'm getting old and my mind isn't sharp as it once was and my hands shake. I have become a very casual operator in CW and phone. To those of you who know the codes and participate in the nets that use them, I appreciate your skill and dedication, and thank you all. Blessings and 73 to everyone here... I can only hope the next year is better than this one was, Ed - ad7gr

Hi Ed, Not far from you regarding age and enjoying the more comfortable CW nets. hi hi Rarely do CW other than the 'comfort' nets SOTA, POTA, and rare DX chasing (of which there hasn't been much of in months), in other words there isn't much in the way of rag chewing anymore. Glad I know the code and can use it. 20 to 30 wpm is about my limit. Some folks send better than others. Most of the time I copy in my head..when it is good CW. hi Have heard some slow CW that was almost impossible to copy in my head and then there's the good CW at 25 plus that's easy to copy. Regarding the Q signals on CW nets - it is good to know them and know where to find them. Our world has changed much from your and my first tickets, ie digital, less rag chewing. At one time PSK and TTY were full of rag chewers. Don't hear much of either these days...FT8 is in vogue. Thanks for the feedback and Happy New Year to you, yours, and all reading this. Let us hope and pray 2022 will be an improvement over 2021. 73 de n4mj//glenn A smart man learns from his mistakes.

If would like like a real CW QSO chat, get on the BUG around 5 - 6 AM local Central, 3.533 and 7.033 MHz are frequent gathering spots for visiting with some seasoned CW BUG ops. They run 20 - 30 WPM, great conversationalist and knowledgeable. These folks make iambic layers obsolete :-)

Hello Walter I’m going to tune in some morning Just to see if I can keep up with copy. I most likely will fall out about 25. 72 Johnny

QNI is a code used in ARRL NTS traffic nets. I don't think it is isolated to that application but it is not in common use in other services. 72, Chas - NK8O
