The delay in the SMS system was immaterial - they never got to the point of sending, at least from what I saw. Besides, the challenge was simply which mode was faster. That was clearly demonstrated. Oddly enough, I've encountered many a cell phone that announces an incoming text message by sending "SMS" - in Morse! 73 de Jim, N2EY _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
