[Elecraft] CW listening pitch

[Phil Hystad]

I played clarinet in the 6th grade -- hated it.  I was a mathematician (programming a lot
of mathematical applications and other things).  And I still love mathematics because
Mathematical Physics is my primary hobby (or, passion).  Ham radio comes second except
in the summer ham radio could count as third to woodworking as second.

I learned CW when I was 9 years old.  By the time (much later) when I took my Novice
test, I was probably copying more than the 13 wpm required of the General class.

This is off-topic so far -- but my tone frequency of choice is 640 Hz.
