: Slow Code wrote: Big Ten-Four on that Good Buddy. It sounds like you run a lot of 11m, not surprising considering how much you whine, and it's not alternator whine. I only typed like because I knew you would understand that style of communicating. So, after your license came in the mail what I appliance did you decide to buy? MFJ? Alinco? Cobra? While you are being all holier than thou, what did you design and build for your main rig? I'm hoping to be impressed, but expecting to be disappointed. Did the code help you with the design? I took my Advanced class test down at 1919 M street 36 years ago. I had to sit at the desk and copy one solid minute out of five error free at 13WPM. I passed it on the first try. I almost failed the sending test, as I had never spent much time doing that. I had never made a code contact before my test, and I have only made a couple since. The thing about code contacts is they never seem to want to say anything beyond: WA3XXX DE W6XX RST 5NN WX FB 73 W6XX SK Contacts like that still help maintain receiving skill. That's important if you ever have to use CW to save a life. SC |
