You guys in large population area might look at this twice.  Wouldn't it be 
nice for someone to set up a CB CW broadcast at different speeds, for CBers (or 
anyone else) to copy and learn the code, with the intent that they could use 
that to pass AMATEUR code tests?  One or two or three transmitters set up 
around the larger towns could quite obviously cover the whole population center.  
Using the CB bands, versus something like 2 meters, would allow more listeners 
to "sit in" on the study program, since almost everyone has an old CB 
transceiver sitting around, or could easily obtain a free or very inexpensive unit 
from family or friends.

  By the way, I just hate it when I click on "Reply" on mailman messages, and 
my CompuServe only brings up a message addressed to the original sender, and 
not the group. I write the message, copy it, bring up a new message form and 
paste it there.  Then, copy "cw@mailman.qth.net"  in the receive line and paste 
that to the new address line.  Seems like a lot of work just to reply to a 
message.  How do the rest of you do that?
