Early in the morning turned on the rig beside the bed. One lone guy
(probably a newbie) defending himself against a large band of sharks as
feed here. It kept me in stitches, he did excellent!

The CB'ers have arrived, and 3.840 bears watching (even sneak in and have
a bit of fun with 'em, well, maybe! grin)

John,

CW worked wonders against idiots for me in the 60s; it can do as well,
despite its' age, in the 21st century )

Oh yeah, the CW was flying there--more furious than chickens feeding in a
tin trough, you could copy the comments in CW at the same time you were
following the phone. It was some confusion all right, you didn't know
which to follow more closely, cw or phone, they were both quite
entertaining... it really never got heavy enough to have to cut in the cw
filter and drop the morse... the guy they were beating up on was a
newbie, the comments in code had me in stitches... the newbie would only
once in awhile get that conversation... it all ended on a lower pitch than
tempers had peaked at...

I haven't dropped in on arts' little corner in quite awhile, now I am
going back every night at ~10:30 PM PST and copying the mail, art hasn't
shown on the nights I have been there--during the times I have been there,
it is much more interesting when the master himself is present...

If you can't sleep, check it out, couple of nights now the goings-on have
been entertaining enough to keep your interest--and then some!

John,

The object isn't to listen to the phone. You put a 200 Hz filter in there
(or tighter) and you won't even hear the phone (am, ssb, whatever). You can
chat right along with no interference from them whilst they get their
panties in a knot. W2OY sure had his panties in a knot when my poor 75
watts of CW kept right on chatting with an Ohio station, despite Mike (W2OY)
having a *lot* more power. I never heard Mike, except once in a while when
I opened the receiver bandwidth up just to hear him screaming to "take those
toys down into the cw band where they belong". If they can continue, so be
it. They won't, however, likey interrupt the cw chat.

The other station and I chatted for a good half hour on cw. At 40 words per
minute, one can pass a lot of information besides rst, qth, rig, etc. We
actually had a nice chat. That's about as fast as most folks go using the
keyboard in a chat. Quite sufficient. I could have done more and he
probably could too, but 50 would have been pushing me pretty hard; 40 was
comfortable.

Yeah, I have state of the art here, can choose to drop either phone or cw...
