[ICOM] Fwd: [OKtraders] New Icom IC-7300 HF/6m XCVR Introduced

[Roger (K8RI)]

I too have Tinnitus and my hearing is over 80 db down above 5 or 6 KHz.
Still, "in my case" it's my hand that is the CW limit, not my hearing.  
My hand writing is almost indecipherable and printing is not much 
better. I have to print, or write slow to be able to read what I 
wrote!<sigh>

Of course due to lack of use, my one time ability to copy 40 WPM is now 
barely 20 WPM

It's also, probably why I'm still hanging onto that Super Twin Reverb <LOL>
Pop a low "E" string while standing in front of it and your pant legs 
will slap your legs.  197 W of music power.  Better have a good headset on!
