Hi Guys,   I had never heard the joke "What rock" before. I think it will 
become the best of my collection.

As to speed on  the maritime freeks I don't think I ever heard any traffic 
take placed above 25wpm and  you could stamp your foot in time to GBMM when 
one of the Queens occupied 500 khZ. Good bugs that would do dots  at 15WPM 
were prized aboard ship.NOT used on British ships!

I'll be on SKN but this year right hand only.  Old age has been creeping up 
and winning with tremors in my left hand.  You woulnd't like that code! I 
never considered being a flying sparks.  No port time.  And, sad to say 
ships match airplanes in turn around these days so today there is no time or 
room for the romance of the seas.

May I suggest paddle users look at www.cwforever.com and see the pix of the 
Flex Flyer which I consider the very finest of all the paddles out there.
