Hey, youse guys really have it correct.  Me, I never was very good at CW,
took the 13 WPM test more times than I want to remember.  Even got to
know the FCC guy by first name!  But I finally made 13 by just 1  ONE
letter.  Happiest day of my life.  Was Advanced from about 1970 until
last year.  Yea, I slipped thru to extra.  I keep planning to get back on
the air.  QTH has 40 over line noise, so guess I will have to get back of
from work.....N6VOA  the Delano Voice of America TX site club station.
NO BIG FAN OF FRED EITHER,

Be looking fer y'all  73, John  WB9AUJ / N6VOA  FISTS # 3300
