Bill's call was N0HFF.

Sorry for the typographical error.

HFF = Happy Friendly Fellow.

I am the Happy Friendly Grouch = HFG perhaps.

     Don't seem very grouchy to me.  Thank you for posting 
this.  I think I have the first edition but not the second. 
As you know I've been struggling with code since I first 
learned it at about twelve.  I think I am one of those who 
learned it the wrong way. These days there is a lot of 
practice material so I try to practice every day.  The 
advice given in the page on the Candler system is good, 
especially the part about not going beyond getting tired.  I 
stumbled on the idea of learning to read in my head rather 
than trying to write everything down on my own but I have 
had to erase a lot of old learning.  The Kotch trainer is 
very helpful as is the W1AW files on line and the more 
recent CNN Morse feed. Its almost like having the old press 
transmissions back. Code fascinates me and has been a 
life-long endeavor.
     Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.  This is 
one of my favorite lists, full of good people.
