[Elecraft] OT: need Ameco code practice oscillator

Tue Mar 18 13:28:01 2003

Hi George -
I have a number of ways to practice in my shack - so the portability is what I need. In other words - how to travel  and not drive my spouse crazy with little dits and dahs! Funny how a straight key takes a lot more to learn then the paddle - but a straight key really has its own sense of satisfaction and challenge!
