Steve offers a good alternative for when band conditions aren't good, or 
when partners can't find a common frequency.

Here's how:
- get one of these key-to-usb adapters: at 
https://hamradio.solutions/vband/ ---> click the STORE tab
- plug into a USB port and go to VBAND: https://hamradio.solutions/vband/
- select a channel and make QSOs

Mike and Becky offer a fine intro (and lots of other CW learning stuff 
too): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ciJR-hEyA8

Best es 72 de N4REE, Bob
