Mrs.E.'s GB has an Icom IC700 or 710 (can't remember which one) that has

Wayne has a IC700 I think. Nice radio.

Hey, listen around enough you might even get the bug - who knows. :)



Listen? :-)

I learned code back in the Navy. It wasn't used much anymore, but we still
had to learn it. To pass the course we had to do 20 wpm minimum with no
more than 1 or two mistakes IIRC. I passed with 35 wpm.
Right now I doubt I could do the alphabet in 10 minutes and would still need
a book.
