Yes, that was PJ2/DL something or other.(I have it in the log upstairs). The 
same thing happened Tuesday or Wednesday night, yet the PJ2 WAS identifying 
regularly. What a riot. He had a good fist, too, and was only going about 
18-20wpm as you said.

I will slow down for anyone, above 7.025, 14.025, etc. But, as far as I'm 
concerned, the Extra part of the band is not for 5 wpm code. There is plenty 
of room above that to learn.

Yes, I am an old fuddy-duddy. In fact, I am member #3 of the "Crotchety Old 
Goat" (COG).
