Interesting, Howard, and thank you. Your information is contrary to that set out on the NPR story on this last week. NPR's interviewees included a couple of long-time amatuers and an official from the ARRL. They did interview a female ham who minimized the use of CW but the others dissented from her position. They also demonstrated one of the computer programs and the ham using it stressed how effective it was (until his computer crashed!). Marc msmall@aya.yale.edu Cha robh b?s fir gun ghr?s fir!
