Precisely. ;-)
And the K8IA, K8IR, K8IU, K8IW deal on cw is eventually gonna bite one or all
of us in the butt! ;-)
Then again, I selected mine in 1976 when the FCC first opened this all up and
if I blew it then, that's life. My thoughts then were something short and
with a nice cw "swing". Little did I know it was "inadequate", hi. Now, after
