Hi Ken, I think it's safe to say no one likes sloppy code, and the comments were saying only that less than perfect code is pleasing to the ear. But less than perfect doesn't mean sloppy. The tiny imperfections add a human quality to an otherwise somewhat stark method of communication.
Shoot high, as the saying goes. That is, I always strive to send perfect, computer-like code but know that I never will. That little difference - hopefully very little! - is what makes the ab3ap fist different from the others. That said I'm completely with you on poor bug fists. Learn to send, learn to adjust a bug, and -then- get on the air with it. Back to Pan Am, I have an circular slide rule with a big Pan Am logo taking up the entire back. Almost tempting to put it on ebay, but I could never part with it! 73, Mike ab3ap On 10/29/2011 01:20 PM, Ken Alexander wrote: > It sounds like everyone is saying sending sloppy code is desirable.
