But my friends have pasted their test.

With multiple question test, their score was all over 70%. (They were allowed to meow their answers)

Excellent suggestion, Dick. 

Such events, along with a person setting something of the operating desk
that bumps the paddles, is one of the major causes of "ditters". Not only
are they annoying, a Ham in the USA is committing a serious Federal offense
by allowing transmissions not under his/her personal control. 

(As an O.T. myself, one of the few old things I enjoy breaking are old
habits, Hi)

I have two furry family members who often visit me when I'm operating...and
often come into the shack when I'm not there.
Naturally, being cats, they climb all over the place including my operating
position.

Heres a tip:  if you leave your radio on when you aren't present, engage "Tx
TEST" to prevent accidental carrier transmission if they want to try out
their fists on your keys.

Sure, I could shut the station off, but I tend to cling to my old ways when
I used hollow state gear (last rig before the K3 was a National
NCX-3) and it required long warm-ups.
