I'll get back to you on that one. I've never been in a situation where I
couldn't produce RF and commmunicate. When it finally does happen, I'll
let you know if it was flags, mirrors, or smoke signals.

He's not just Slow Code, he's slow everything, especially on the uptake.



Yes, but I'm still faster than you.

That's generally when you find out your rig might need repair, when
someone reports your audio is distorted or garbled.

I'm really happy the FCC eliminated the 20 wpm Code requirement so you

internet instead of keeping them off like they should be. Of course,
I'm not talking about you.
