[OKDXA] HamCom2008

Tue Jun 24 22:36:23 EDT 2008

Jerry, let me add my congrats, too.  VERY impressive.

Do you know if the CW you were listening to was a simulator?  Or, was it a 
recording of an actual pileup?  Something else?  Also, I assume you entered 
calls via a keyboard.  Was there any opportunity to simply write call signs 
by hand?

Sounds like you are now ready to go up against some of those young kid 
Europeans who are pretty fair on CW.
