Even though I'm still learning the code, and others who do not know the code yet might view this as a Good Thing, I don't. To me this means ham radio is dead. Forget pro-signs, and learn highly intellectual phrases like "breaker breaker" and "good buddy". I can't believe I had 37 years to get into ham radio, and now that I am, it is coming to an end :( 73 Eric, KD5UWL
