[SixClub] comment on the morse testing

[David M0ZLB/KG4ZLB]

Never having been one to assimilate any foreign language studies at school,
I faced the 5wpm test with some trepidation and I must admit failed it
spectacularly on at least two attempts before scraping home on the third
attempt! I looked at it as a necessary evil in getting to my eventual Extra
licence!

Once I had done it, I thought I would never touch it again but to my
surprise I found that once I had got hold of a Bencher Iambic paddle, I
actually enjoyed it immensely, in fact I have just spent the whole morning
on 40m CW.

In my mind, it will never be the same as a good old fashioned phone QSO but
there again, its a mode and I would like to master it one day! And at least
it is REAL radio rather than Echolink and PSK and all that stuff that
masquerades as radio - LOL

Happy Holidays to all!
