Thanks Don,
	We use to have members who would set up on S.F.B. Morse's birthday
and reenact the C.W. contact using American Morse.
	
ALL,
	I am going to upgrade my handheld collection and get the new
Kenwood.  To do this I need to thin the HT collection.  I have the following
for sale.
	TH-F6A 2/220/440 HT with three 3AHr Batteries, 1 standard Battery,
an AA pack and the RT Systems Software and cable = $200
	TH-TH-D72A 2/440 APRS HT with three batteries and 1 AA Pack. Also
have the RT Systems software.  The unit uses a standard USB cable for
programming  - $200.00
	Send me an e-mail if your interested.

Today is the birthday of Samuel Morse, creator of CW or the Morse Code used
by Hams and many others.   Samuel Finley Breese Morse was born on April 27,
1791.  He developed the Morse Code in the 1830s and 1840s with other
inventors, that resulted in the telegraph system that revolutionized
long-distance communication. In May 1844, Morse inaugurated the world's
first commercial telegraph line with the message "What hath God wrought,"
sent from the U.S. Capitol to a railroad station in Baltimore. Within a
decade, more than 20,000 miles of telegraph cable crisscrossed the country.
The rapid communication it made possible greatly aided American expansion,
making railroad travel safer as it provided a boost to business conducted
across the great distances of a growing United States.  Morse received a
patent for the telegraph in 1847.
