[CW] Clear Channel Communications to Purchase Radio Station WWV

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr. via CW]

Or the heartbreak of split dots from your semi-automatic bug?  We will
return to the time after a word from Jim Sheldon, W0EB and his famous "Dot
Stabilizer" For Pricing on Flat and Round Pendulum Stabilizers, contact Jim
at <w0eb at cox.net>

I use them on my Mac S-600 Stream Bug, my Vibroplex Champion, Dual Lever
G3HGE Olympia and Vibroplex Original.

It makes my bug sending as smooth as a newborn baby's bottom.
