Subj : radio check To : DAITENGU From : Cougar428 Date : Thu Feb 02 2023 09:28 am -=> Quoting Daitengu to Cougar428 <=- Da> CW is still incredibly popular on the amateur bands. Just because Da> people don't have to learn it to get their license, doesn't mean they Da> don't learn it. You are correct of course, as I mentioned I do hear it on the bands and I am tempted to start copying. If I have a keyboard in front of me, my fingers hit the keys as I hear the characters. Kind of strange after all these years, but it took me 9 months to learn initially. When learning I hit a point where if the code went faster than 22cpm, I would hear doubles. Once I got past that it was smooth sailing. Thanks, Cougar .... Surly to bed, and surly to rise. ___ Blue Wave/QWK v2.20 --- þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net .
