This short YouTube video demonstrates sending & receiving an ARRL radiogram
over a voice channel. There's a slight difference in the way a message is
sent using CW vs SSB.

Note the speaking speed the transmitting station uses in order to allow the
receiving station time to write down the message. In this example, it's
slightly too fast IMHO unless the receiving station is proficient and
experienced in message handling.

Also note the use of two standard phrases:

"Figures" - indicates a number will follow "I Spell" - indicates that the
next word is uncommon and will be sent phonetically letter by letter.
Typically used for sending a person's surname unless the surname is very
common (Smith, Jones).

And here's another good video on "your first message."

I'm NOT a traffic handler so we are starting from the same point.  If anyone
in Calvert AUXCOMM does handle traffic routinely, your help would be
appreciated during the Wednesday net.

meeting on Wednesday, Dec 21. We'll use the 146.985 repeater starting at
7:30PM local.

using the standard ARRL message form. The links below explain how to compose
a message. Try to have a short message prepared before the net (message to
Santa, whatever).
