Are you copying in your head, or writing it down?
What I found really helped me make the switch to copying in my head
was to let a digital unit copy along with me. Normally I wouldn't
look at the screen but if I missed something important, I could look
up at it so that I could carry on an
These are extremely appropriate examples. A big thing to pick up here
is that SSB was a standard and everyone could design to it. If they
had a better idea and cheaper manufacturing they could compete.
One of the things never addressed with digital is the standards
issue. We spent millions of
Let me echo that if you want to copy fast and conversationally, throw
away your pencil and paper.
On most traffic nets, folks only send about 25 wpm since that is all

Many of us are familiar with the AOR product since it has been around
for some time now and is about the only one of its kind for HF. The pros
and cons of this technology have been mentioned many times.
While it may have good voice quality and almost no background noise, the

Danny,
Even if the CW subbands shrink, it does not mean that there will be any
shortage of spectrum for CW. From what I have read of the proposals, any
narrow mode can always be used in a wider mode subband. Just like you
can today. No one loses anything. In fact, it is the exact opposite

To me CW is "the" original digital

Personally I neglected CW for several years
because of my extensive involvement in the digital modes. Recently I did come
back to CW and mainly on 160 meters as that's the mode that most of the DX uses.
The first thing I discovered was that my

You need to also check out the ARRL product review on this unit.

why would we re-do regulations which have been in

Canada?
Lately those regulations are no longer in effect
but I have yet to see anyone operating below those freq's, so far respecting the

Believe me there are Canadian and/or Mexican/South Americans signals

Besides that wasn't the point I attempted to make. My point was that

I also had to re-read my post and the rule. I think I found part of
the answer to my original question. Paragraph (a) of Section 97.309
makes a distinction between digital codes (5-bit Baudot, 7 bit-AMTOR
