| As far as ssb goes, people tend to use "Q-codes" Originally derived from Morse code, these are "procedural" codes eg CQ is calling for a contact aka SEEK YOU QSY = change frequency QRO = high power or increase power QRP = low power or reduce power QSL = confirm or QSL? = do you confirm? QRT = stop transmitting or shutting down
This is very brief but the best bet is to just use plain English | |

| I just listened to a variety of people and everyone had their own way of calling dx. Then when i was confident i started calling dx and not one person called back. Soon found out that my radio needed tuning so soon as i had it tuned i put a call out and got a load of people calling me back. There is a lots of ways to dx and i normally go hello frequency or cq frequency or good morning-evening frequency this is base station/mobile station call sign calling frequency and standing by or listening etc. Good luck and have fun Mau5matt | |

| The period around the shortest day is often quite good for propagation, so putting out a call on Dec 25th is well worth doing. I have often worked DX on Xmas Day while the family are watching whatever garbage is on the telly! | |
