> BTW Code doesn't suck. I learned the code in 1975. That was a LONG time ago. I got up to around 15-20 wpm w/ fairly good accuracy - at the time I needed 13 wpm in Canada methinks.
I let it drop and the ravages of time erased some of the ability. When I was doing my exam the other night, the examiner through in the CW because it was easy. My copy was 100% but I missed one character of punctuation - Punctuation was never my strong suit -- I will try again in a month. My first CW experience, for those interested, was on a Radio Shack Globe Patrol that I built in 1973... the Summer of I think. When I bought a DX150B in November of 1973, I felt that I had gone to heaven. Now with this little achievement - I feel that magic again. -- Colin Newell - Editor - coffeecrew.com | coffee.bc.ca | DXer.ca Web-Design / E-Commerce / Writing Victoria, British Columbia, Canada _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
