[SixClub] Christmas opening

[K8RI on 50MHz]

You mean you're one of those guys who sends CW in one long string with no 
spaces between words<:-))?

I make enough mistakes using a keyer, but on a keyboard I still type around 
40 WPM and make mistakes at 50 WMP<:-)) OTOH I could use a good program for 
copying . When I graduated and started on my masters I was teaching 5 
classes with a total of 195 students.  At that time I could easily type 60. 
Unfortunately age is taking its toll.

I have interfaces to tie the rigs into the computers... well, except for the 
HT-32, HT33B, and SX101A which don't exactly lend themselves to digital 
control.  The 756 Pro OTOH will talk to the computers quite nicely. I never 
figured out how to control it though.  They just give the control codes and 
do not have a control program of their own.

I have both the Icom and the MFJ audio interfaces. The MFJ was on the Icom 
751A out in the shop until I sold the 751A to a friend who did most of the 
wiring in the shop.
