[AMRadio] Bugged by CW?

[Bob Macklin]

With plain test at 5 or even 10WPM you can drop every other character and 
fill in the blanks!

Since 7100 to 7125 seems unused why not.

When I was a novice in 1957 I only had ONE crystal. So did a lot of other 
Novices. We would send our CQ then look around for someone calling us back.

But we can use VFOs today. So someone pick a frequency! And pick a time. How 
about more than one day a week? There not much on TV anymore other then the 
political BS!
