[Fists] Code Buddy Coordinator Gets Unusual Request

[John Kuklewicz N7ZN]

Suggest he download/purchase a computer based 'code
reader' such as CWget, MRP40, etc. My copy of Writelog
includes such a software utility, and MFJ sells that
stand alone unit.

If the computer can copy his code reliably, then his
fist has to be pretty good. These things usually have
very little tolerance for spacing errors, broken
characters, etc.

This is probably about the only good use for the
things (code readers).
