Exactly, Fred!!! Great concept. It’s not much different than learning a new language…or morse code for that matter. At first, everything is translated back to your native language and then to thoughts. Eventually your “knower” translates the words (or morse sounds) directly to thoughts, bypassing the translation to your native language. Suddenly it is all much simpler, but if we aren’t willing to put forth a little effort, it never gets easy. As I said earlier, learn, learn, learn. It is good for you. Oh, I almost forgot. I run my KX3 at about 4 lbf. ft. / sec. ;-) Mark ars: KE6BB Fluent in imperial measure, metric measure, and Morse code.

With full credit to Richmond Johnson, a colleague at work and retired USAF Col, I think the problem with "going metric" is that we all have a "Knower" inside our head, as he said... ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
