[Icom] CW-reception on IC-756 PRO (II)

[Tony Hwang]

Hi,
Any one did blind comparison test? I remember old documentary on TV 
about beer.
Many said they drink certain brand and said they have particular taste 
they like.
When they were tested blind-folded between different brands including 
their own,
most of them couldn't pick their own brand. How about enclosing radio in 
an identical
black box and let them listen and tell which is which. It'd be interesting.
Reminds me of old saying, "Poor craftsman always complains about his 
tool".  I told my kid
learning guitar, "Good player makes any gear sound good, poor player 
makes best gear
sound bad, just keep practicing until your fingers bleed".
(anyhow he has best gears I could afford because I am a soft hearted 
dad, hi.)
73, Happy 2K3.
