Seriously, I do enjoy cw contacts with newcomers. I also have the ability
to deal with the folks that are hard-core cw folks. We had one guy on a
440
MHz repeater that was complaining that CW was the only way to go.
Fortunately, the owner of the repeater was in the group. I've known him
since 1963. I simply asked for permission to use F-2 modulation.

After receiving permission, I hit the guy with 40 words per minute CW.
Case
made, case closed. Tim, WB2KAO, the repeater owner got a bit of a charge
out of that LOL


That's great. It's a fine example of "be careful what you ask for as you
might get it"!
