Calling CQ means you want to talk to any station anywhere that might be listening. If you call CQ, be prepared for anyone to answer.
CQ CQ CQ and your call sign is how you start a call.
Some thing to do with amatuer Radio.
Or you could be just mad and repeating CQ all the time.

You are saying "CQ CQ CQ", not hard really.
Where is my left hand?
Where is my left hand?
And professional radio ops in the days when wireless telegraphy existed, before all this new fangled stuff such as Satellite comms came into existence, where you'd send something like:
CQ CQ CQ de GRIQ GRIQ GRIQ, followed by your request or message, in morse code.
(GRIQ = the first ship I sailed on, the British Pride, in 1974)

bussiest shopping day of the year today
that is a term that I see a lot of radio Hams use probably because in their bands, when using morse, they do use CW
. When I was at sea, if I remember correctly, on 4MHz and above (HF Bands) we used CW (carrier wave) but on the MF Band (410 to 512kHz) we used MCW (modulated carrier wave), hence why I said Wireless Telegraphy (WT) which implies the use of morse code
how geeky is that, to remember this after 20 odd years
It is not that hard to learn morse code, it just takes lots of practice to get up to speeds of 25+ words a minute.
