[Elecraft] [K3] One Last Hearing Story

[Edward R Cole]

Very interesting story!  I recall Rick's R2 (I think it was called) 
which was an analog precursor to the SDR of today.

I think the lesson is well put.  To improve your abilities you have 
to "train"!  That has to be done at or beyond the limits.
So to hear better train yourself with "weak signals".  To improve 
your CW push your speed.  To qualify as a Marine Recon or NAVY Seal, 
well .... good luck!  You know they train beyond the limits.  I have 
been lucky to work alongside both who were retired vets!

My hearing is very poor, not from rock music but industrial 
noise.  In the 1950-60's no one bothered with hearing 
protection.  But I do know my ability can be improved with training 
at levels I want to succeed at.

Thanks for the story.
