[CW] HERE IS FILE FOR "Finger Play"

[John/K4WJ]

Very interesting to hear the tape of that ol QSO David.

Your dot to dash ratio was very good. Some guys don't use the correct 
timing for the dots and they are either too long for the dash speed or too 
short for it. Yours was great.

This QSO must have been early in the morning because that is when Bus and 
the gang meet on 7.020. Actually we meet on 7.020.28 because Roy, K6XK, has 
what he believes is QRM from the Orient exactly on 7.020.

I'm going to estimate your speed on the bug was somewhere between 28 and 30 
WPM.

I also noted that you immediately corrected your errors, except on two 
occasions where you let them slip by. Either that or you used an 
abbreviation that I'm not familiar with.  (Which is very possible because 
I'm not good at abbreviations anymore.

Thanks to Ed for making the tape and to you for sharing it with us.
