Great call. I have a T-shirt that says: WWV We're all Time All the time BTW Code doesn't suck. The way it is taught might. If you learned to talk you can copy code. If, for instance, I say the word "Beer" you don't count the letters and spell it out to figure out what I meant. You just know that they sound I made means a delicious dark brown liquid. However if I instead said "to to too to" instead of listening to the sound everyone counts the dits and dahs. Thats hard work, and after about 10 you can't count that fast. If I ask most folks to learn 26 new vocabulary words in a week and be able to recognise them when spoken, people would have no trouble. But if I called it a code and tried to teach you to spell out each letter of every word you would hate it. Enough about that. Great job Colin. And don't worry about being giddy about radios. My motto is that you can't have too many radios. cu in the pileups.
