[Elecraft] CW - Living language (RE: Prosign confusion)

[Leigh L Klotz, Jr.]

When I was learning CW I made the mistake of telling my kindergarten 
class about this novice custom, and the entire school bus began chanting 
"dit-diddle-it-dit" until I got off.  Despite this early trauma, I 
managed to get my license.

Bill W9ZN, the CW powerhouse of Chicago, will happily do the whole 
dit-diddle-it-dit with you, and send EISH5 and BENS BEST BENT WIRE/5 
too.
