That would be me. Not just tapes, in fact I didn't find tapes to be a
good method of learning, but I've never attached a key to a rig. What
was the point of me learning 20wpm?
Uhhhhhhhhhh....passing Element 1C...?!?!
Steve, K4YZ
So let me rephrase that. Why should I have had to pass 1C to get the
bottom
ends of the phone subbands? Actually, that's where the DX used to be, but
it seems to have moved up to avoid the 'hernia nets' that now seem to
occupy that spectrum.
Among other things getting the Extra will allow you to work the DX where you
hear it. Assuming of course they are in the US phone bands. CW don't have
that problem. Because the DX hangs low, and everyone in the world can work
it.
