[CW] RE: QSK

I was the fellow who pushed ICOM to make the 751A.  I returned a Icom IC-751
to the "HossTrader" because it didn't have QSK.  Of course the Hoss didn't
want to give back the $$$, but since he advertised in ARRL, I complained,
and ARRL agreed that the ICOM IC-751 didn't have QSK - well at least above
20 wpm.  So the Hoss gave me back my %#$$$%# as he called it.

I went back to my Ten-Tec Triton IV and was happy.  The QSK was real.

Not many rigs have QSK like Ten-Tec.  I remember I asked this list for a
recommendation of good QSK rigs.

I will try this again in the next messages.
