GM Roy,

 HG> I didn't know it before but now I do. I'm an art lover, I love Morse.

RW> You are a dying breed.

Yes I know, if nothing else happens age will do it.

RW> My interests lay more in building antennas than being on the cw
RW> portions of the HF bands.

Until I started my own business I was a very active electronics builder
making my own receivers, transmitters and control/measuring equipment.
Needless to say, I've never bought an antenna.

RW> Did that as a boy scout in the 50s. I knew morse code at the age of
RW> 13. Teens aren't that interested in morse or radio as much as they
RW> are girls at that age.

That wasn't a distraction for me. I had a girlfriend in the teens who
later became my wife and co-operator as OH2QJ and then OH0ND/OH0YL.

 HG> I admit that I have lost at least the paragraph copying because of
 HG> not having trained that in a long time but it will come back with
 HG> training.

RW> I suspect that my HF rig, Kenwood TS520 bought c1977, has blown some
RW> pwr supply caps as it has blown the fuse when turning it on.

Yeah, that's a common problem with old equipment.

CU L8ER,

Holger
