     Perhaps a demonstration where people could "talk" via a 
key and oscillator to someone skilled in CW. Even those who 
don't know the code at all could follow along with a code 
chart at very slow speed, just like the sets made for kids 
years ago. Perhaps the "bug" (pun intended) may catch a few 
people. Even though I am no expert I find something very 
seductive about CW and practice every day. Maybe there are 
mean-spirited people on CW but I sure never hear them, on 
phone, all the time.
