Fw: [Fists] Lake Erie Swing

Mon, 25 Mar 2002 16:21:14 -0500

I've heard about different swings a few years back. It has to do with the
rhythm you tap out your code. Back years ago in the 20s,30's and 40s a
certain rhythm got a nick name. I don't know if it really had to do with a
certain region more than a particulars HAMs fists. However, when I put
alittle rhythm to my code sending, I find it flows alot easier.
        my 2 cents worth...73...NW3N
