Bill,

Thanks for your reply.  It was just one of several helpful and
encouraging replies received including TR WB6TMY and Steve KI6ADA.  K6BW
HWA is a great group!

Hi John,

Don't be discouraged, keep at it.  You will find other stations who
operate
at your speed, and with practice your speed will quickly increase.

Sorry we were not able to respond to your request.  We were working on a
linear amplifier and the Internet link at the clubhouse last night.  By
the
time we "looked up," the time had passed.  Can we schedule another time
on a
Tuesday?
