I don't know about Richard, but I keep my call letters
off of my internet activities because the FCC database
is freely searchable, and has my station address in it.

There are some real nutcases out on the internet. *Do you

Chuck,

That's a good point.
I am used to just using it in closed groups.
Google does expose us to a much greater audience.

Richard,

Thanks for the advice, I have already learned the code,
Used Chuck Adams code course, I hear great things about
G4FON but being a MAC and LInux user, it is unavailable to me.

There s a new KOCH method Web site though that is good for
continuing accuracy training

I am in the processes of building a transistor qrp rig and trying to
decide on which of the glow plug projects
looks the most promising. Then there is always the T4 I have tucked
away. So many projects.

My main thought now is to increase my knowledge of the operating
procedures of CW and as Michael
pointed out the newer editors of ham radio literature are giving CW a
second class rating.

See you on the bands.
