Bill ... Keith ... Tentecians there is so much on 40-cw 

1. yes lotsa dx high-speed[?] cw below 7025...and medium-speed qso's.

2. yes some high-speed cw qso's from 7025-up, but medium-speed as well.

3. yes qrp from 7035-7050 AND THEN....

4. yes the SSB area.

5. yes the novice band where we learn, learning use to not hard.

I'm in Oregon and sometimes a qrper and dxer and conversational type-a
guy. But mostly the quick 10-15 second 599 don or bk....i love artic
flutter...
