Wow! Thanks so much for the support. I thought I would get some negative
feedback but you guys are awesome. As far as setting up times, my
daughter is
usually in bed by about 9pm. I get nervous though. That is what blew it
the
first time I took the code. It's funny too, I find it difficult to send
as
well, but I read a lot about how people find sending easier than
receiving. I
actually have to write down what I want to send before I do it. Oh well,
practice makes perfect!!!

That's because we've all been there and done that. Early on I had a real
old-timer answer me and he must have been going at least 35wpm, probably
been doing code since radio began. After several requests, he got down to
what I could handle, about 10wpm, and stayed with me for a few minutes and
then gracefully said goodbye. I sensed that going so slow was a strain for
him but he still was willing to spend a few minutes with me.
