Jim
A colourful observation with some bits added on about what I said and a
history lesson that all will enjoy !! although not accurate, just one
persons point of view.
My preferred mode on the lower frequencies is still CW and QRS under stress.
In 10 years time I expect the AOMM will replace everything that exists
today. (AOMM -- Appliance Operator Miracle Mode)
