It is fun Bernie.  I haven't done that in a long time.  last thing I did
was practice with an imabic keyer (Bencher), and at first got really
frustrated, but after about 3 days, I was able to send good up to nearly 30
wpm.  No way I could copy that fast now.  I've got a 1961 chrome bug I
really want to get hooked up again too.  It is so pretty, it just needs to
be used.  Have the original case, extra weights, and all for it.  One of
these days....
