[Fists] K2ORS gassing about CW

[Fred Adsit]

This was a very entertaining radio program. His experiences somewhat 
parallel my own, and in roughly the same time frame. I noted we even use the 
same verbal expressions.
Great listening. Not a lot of big laughs, but it's a real blast, yet an 
easy-going one, from the past. One of our cats took a liking to his voice 
and sat here the whole time, looking for the guy with the pleasant voice. Ya 
just gotta take a listen. :)
