[CW] New RadioTelegraph Operator License

[Benny Owens]

BUT STEVE

YOUR HAND WAS NOT ON THE BUG!

MY ONLY COMMERCIAL TRANSMISSION WAS USING A HAND KEY TO SEND A SHIPS LIST
AT KLC.

I CANT RECALL FOR SURE BUT AFTER THE ANNOUNCEMENT ON 500 KHZ/HF THE MF FREQ
WAS EITHER 478 OR 484.  I THINK ONE WAS WNU AND THE OTHER KLC.

WISH I HAD NOT LET MY T2 EXPIRE IN 1991.
