Well it seems that my lifetime guarantee on the crystals in my various
rockbound VHF and HF rigs will not be honored. I have at least 40 more
years of life in me, but ICM announced on their home page they were going
out of business. Have a look at https://www.icmfg.com/ and note this is a
sad day for Ham Radio, and Radio in general. Nearly all the the crystals I
own that are not FT-243 WWII surplus are from ICM, including in a few
commercial radios.



Who is still in the business...

I finished up the CW OPS course for level 1. It was a very good course. I
made a lot of mistakes and made a lot of progress. We learn by mistakes and
I’m sure I’ll keep making them. My sending has gotten better and I still
struggle with immediate recognition of the sounds but I will keep
practicing and moving forward.



I did make one contact with John, VE7JBX, in Canada and clearly heard his...
