[drakelist] CW(for those who still/may use it)
Thom R. Lacosta [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterence to the drakelist gang -- For those that use CW, or think they might, I've made The Art Skill of Radio-Telegraphy available via the web. It's been available via a Canadian site, but this version allows you to download a compiled version that's around 500KB and will run on your IBM style computer if Internet Expolorer installed. http://www.zerobeat.net/tasrt/ 73,Thom-k3hrn www.zerobeat.net Home of QRP Web Ring, Drakelist home page, Free Classified Ads for amateur radio, QRP IRC channel Elecraft Owners Database www.tlchost.net/ Web Hosting as low as 3.49/month -- On Behalf of Thom R.

RE: [drakelist] CW(for those who still/may use it)
Mike D. [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterence to the drakelist gang -- Hi Thom, I haven't looked at the Canadian version in a long time and never carefully compared the two. The FISTS CW Club, 4th edition, went to press just after Bill Pierpont passed away (2003). Here are some changes included in the 4th edition: New Cover Design Forward by Ken Pierpont (Bill's brother) High Speed Appendix added Refined book design Professionally edited ISBN The fifth edition will contain numerous changes/refinements. The site you refer to as the FISTS site is actually my personal Web site. I created the 3rd and 4th editions for FISTS CW Club, with much help from friends. My site is listed as the Official Download Site for this edition. If someone wants to create a book from Pierpont's original text, they are free to do so. I think the Canadian site has Pierpont's original early text without the High Speed Appendix - I'm not sure. FISTS CW Club sells the 4th edition at cost ($11.50 shipped CONUS). Unfortunately, it is sold out (again). I find reading the book a much more pleasurable experience than trying to read it on a computer monitor or even printed out. There were several versions of the third edition that were available for download from my Web site. I don't want other Web sites publishing our work as they could distribute a dated version. This occurred and that's when we asked people to link to us, rather than putting a copy of the FISTS book on their server. Also, since FISTS CW Club, made a huge investment to have the books printed, I would like to let people know that a printed book version is available. I hope I answered all your questions. 73 de Mike, N9BOR A-1, FISTS, JARL A-1, SMC http://www.n9bor.us http://www.k9ya.org di dah dit - The only Roger Beep you'll ever need.

You can download the 3rd edition for FREE as a PDF from my Web site at http://www.qsl.net/n9bor/n0hff.htm So, what's the difference between the Second edition and the later ones? As far as I know, Pierpoint stated in the Second edition, which the Canadian site lists as the third edition. This book may be freely reproduced and published, but only on a no-profit basis in order to make it as widely available as possible to those who need it...N0HFF And so, I am confused by the statement on the the FISTS page...proclaiming it as the Official download siteand really perplexed by the words You may link to this page, but please do not put the book file on your server. It would appear that there are several sources for the book. The one I put up is slightly different, in that you can download a complied HTML versionwhich is smaller and faster than either the html or pdf versions...but, the downside is that it's only going to work on an IBM style computer. 73,Thom-k3hrn -- On Behalf of Mike D.

I tried it back when some mode that required you have only one nostril was taking off, but I got horse saying Umm between phrases, and when I tried to throw the multiple knife switches during round-tables I got rf burns. 73,Thom-k3hrn www.zerobeat.net Home of QRP Web Ring, Drakelist home page, Free Classified Ads for amateur radio, QRP IRC channel Elecraft Owners Database www.tlchost.net/ Web Hosting as low as 3.49/month -- On Behalf of Thom R.
